The expanded part at the end of the flower stalk on which the organs of a flower (i.e. sepals, petals, stamens and carpels) are inserted; receptacles are fused in capitulate inflorescences and then the word is often used to mean the entire broadened stalk (head) on which the individual flowers develop.<\/p>\n
(In species with compound heads) also used for the expanded part of the headstalk that bears the collected flowers (e.g. in Compositae\/Asteraceae or Dipsacaceae).<\/p>\n
The region at the end of a pedicel or on an axis which bears one or more flowers.<\/p>\n
Part of the floral axis supporting floral parts.<\/p>\n
The support of a flower, 1. e., the thickened upper surface of the apex of the peduncle or pedicel; particularly, however, the place of attachment of the flowers of a head.<\/p>\n
The tip of the flower-stalk, to which all the floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels) are attached; it may be dome-shaped or conical (as in Buttercups or Mayweeds); cup-shaped and hollowed out, with the carpels within the cup (as in many members of the Rose family); or a flat disc.<\/p>\n
The enlarged end of the stem to which the floral parts are attached.<\/p>\n
The cup-shaped, conical or flat uppermost part of the stem bearing the flower parts.<\/p>\n
