In botany, having small bracteoles (leaf-like structures) at the base of a flower or inflorescence.
From 'basial' (base) + 'bracteole' (from Latin 'bractea' meaning thin plate + diminutive '-ole'). A specialized botanical term combining position with the presence of small specialized leaves.
Botanists studying flowers need to describe tiny leaf-like structures at different positions—'basibracteolate' is their way of saying 'has little leaves right at the bottom,' which helps identify and classify plant species.
