Having hidden or inconspicuous segments or reproductive parts; relating to organisms with concealed morphological structures.
From Greek 'kryptos' (hidden) + 'meros' (part) + '-ous' (full of, characterized by). This botanical and zoological term describes anything with obscured segmentation or structure.
In botany, cryptomerous flowers are nature's hide-and-seek champions—their floral parts are so tiny or hidden that botanists need microscopes to even count the petals and reproductive organs!
