Albiflorous

/ælbɪˈflɔrəs/ adjective

Definition

Having white flowers; producing or bearing flowers that are white in color.

Etymology

From Latin albus 'white' combined with florous from flos 'flower.' This botanical term precisely describes plants with white blooms.

Kelly Says

Albiflorous plants are actually quite special in the plant kingdom—white flowers are rarer than you might think, and they evolved special strategies to attract pollinators without bright colors!
