Calyciflorous

/ˌkælɪsɪˈflɔːrəs/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or possessing calycifloral characteristics; having flower parts attached to the calyx.

Etymology

From 'calyc-' (calyx) and 'florous' (flowering), yet another variant form describing the same calycifloral flower structure arrangement.

Kelly Says

Botanists literally created three words (calycifloral, calyciflorate, calyciflorous) for the same flower structure—this is like calling your pet dog 'canine,' 'dog-like,' and 'doggy' all at once!
