Located or occurring outside or beyond the leaves of a plant.
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'foliaceous' (leafy, from 'folium' meaning leaf). This botanical term was coined to distinguish plant parts and phenomena that occur external to leaf structures.
Extrafoliaceous flowers like those on cactuses grow right out of the stem rather than where leaves attach, which is botanically weird but helps desert plants survive by reducing water loss!
