Term Definition
Androecial hood appendages swept inward A androecial hood type in which appendages arise from an expanded apical or subapical part of the ligule from where they curve into the flower but do not form a coil (e.g., as in species of ). The appendices are always more or less fused together at their bases. If the expanded part of the hood is subapical and the ligule extends beyond the thickening, the extension is called the anterior ligular extension. Do not confuse this term with curved appendages (see definition) Androecial hood: Bertholletia-type. Drawing by Bobbi Angell and photo by S. A. Mori
