Everything about Pappus Flower Structure totally explained
Pappus, in a
composite flower, is the element of the individual disk and ray flowers that surrounds the flower structure, in the same manner at the base as
calyx does in a non-compound flower. Pappuses may be like bristles, teeth or scales and are usually too diminutive to discern without some type of magnification device. The
etymology of this name is that it derives from the
Ancient Greek word
pappos,
Latin pappus, meaning
old man, but also used for a plant – assumed to be an
Erigeron species – having bristles, and also for the woolly, hairy seed of certain plants.
