In botany, a structure or part opposite to or opposing the spadix (the flower spike characteristic of plants like arums and palms).
From 'anti-' (opposite) plus 'spadix,' derived from Greek 'spadix' meaning a palm branch or spike. This is highly specialized botanical terminology.
Botanical terminology like 'antispadix' reveals how botanists give names to every conceivable plant structure—even the rarely-referenced parts opposite to the main flower spike get their own precise, tongue-twisting Latin names!
