Abundantly having bracts or bract-like structures; characterized by numerous or prominent bracteae in a plant's floral display.
From Latin 'bractea' plus the Latin suffix '-osus' (meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'), which became '-ose' in English botanical terminology. Indicates abundance or prominence of the feature.
The '-ose' suffix (like in 'verbose,' 'grandiose,' 'bellicose') means 'full of' or 'inclined toward,' and in botany it describes plants where a particular feature is especially prominent or abundant. It's a suffix with attitude!
