Callistephus chinensis schemat budowy koszyczka l listki okrywy; 2 dno kwiatosta nowe (receptaculum); 3 kwiaty promieniste (flores radii); 4 kwiaty dyskowe (flores disci). Fig. 1. Callistephus chinensis a diagram of head structure: 1 involucre bracts; 2 receptacle; 3 ray florets; 4 disc florets. Okrywa (involucrum). Okrywê koszyczka tworzy kilka szeregów zró¿nicowanych listków. https://pbsociety.org.pl/journals/index.php/aa/article/viewF... ccccccccccccc Some members of the Asteraceae have only one row of involucral bracts http://herbarium.usu.edu/taxa/asteraceae.htm ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Involucral bracts Beggar-tick (Bidens comosa) Bracts that appear in a whorl subtending an inflorescence are collectively called an involucre. An involucre is a common feature beneath the inflorescences of many Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Dipsacaceae and Polygonaceae. Each flower in an inflorescence may have its own whorl of bracts, in this case called an involucel. In this case they may be called chaff, paleas, or receptacular bracts and are usually minute scales or bristles. Many asteraceous plants have bracts at the base of each inflorescence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bract ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc The middle involucral bracts are small and scale-like; they form a basket enclosing the flowers. https://books.google.com/books?id=QHO1BgAAQBAJ&pg=PA10&lpg=P... ccccccc .
