Pedicel is also applied to the stem of the infructescence. The word "pedicel" is derived from the Latin pediculus, meaning "little foot". [2] The stem or branch from the main stem of the inflorescence that holds a group of pedicels is called a peduncle. [3] A pedicel may be associated with a bract or bracts. [4]

Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.
Ricinulei is a small order of arachnids.Like most arachnids, they are predatory; eating small arthropods.They occur today in west-central Africa and the Americas (Cryptocellus and Pseudocellus) from South America to as far north as Texas, where they either inhabit leaf-litter or caves.
The flowers are fragrant and are arranged in loose groups, each flower on a pedicel 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long. There are five (sometimes four) sepals about 1 mm (0.039 in) long and five (sometimes four) white or cream-coloured petals 13–18 mm (0.51–0.71 in) long. and the fruit is an oval, glabrous, orange-red berry 12–14 mm (0.47 ...
The egg of Paracantha gentilis has a long, opaque pedicel that is about twice the size of the egg body; [7] this character is shared with other Paracantha species such as Paracantha trinotata. [8] This pedicel is tubelike, and is always exposed to outside air when oviposited, presumably for respiration. [7]
Hopea pedicellata grows as a canopy tree, up to 40 metres (130 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 60 cm (24 in). It has buttresses and stilt roots. The bark is smooth.
Flowers are solitary, bisexual, radial, with a long pedicel and usually floating or raised above the surface of the water, with girdling vascular bundles in receptacle. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Some species are protogynous and primarily cross-pollinated, but because male and female stages overlap during the second day of flowering, and because it is self ...
