An extremely small flower or a diminutive floscule; the smallest unit of a flower head in botanical terms.
From Latin 'flosculus' (small flower) + '-et' (diminutive suffix, as in 'inlet' or 'leaflet'), creating a double diminutive meaning 'very small flower' or 'tiny floret.'
A flosculet is a diminutive of a diminutive—it's how botanists express extreme smallness; using 'flosculet' is like botanical whispering about the tiniest flowers you can barely see without magnification.
