Toothed bracts on Rhinanthus minor

In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf, from the axil of which a flower or flower stalk arises; or a bract may be any leaf associated with an inflorescence. Usually bracts are green and resemble the other leaves. However, some bracts are brightly colored and serve the function of attracting pollinators, either in concert with or instead of the tepals. An excellent example of this latter type of bract occurs in the Poinsettia plant (Euphorbia pulcherrima). Download high resolution version (700x925, 193 KB)Yellow-rattle (Rhinanthus minor). ...

A small bract is called bracteole or bractlet. Technically it is any bract that arises on a pedicel instead of subtending it. In grasses, the bracts that enclose the florets are termed glumes. A glume, in grasses (Poaceae) and sedges (Cyperaceae), is an basal, membranous, outer sterile husk or bract in grass flowers that do not stand directly at the flower base. ...

Bracts that appear in a whorl are collectively called an involucre. An involucre is a common feature under the inflorescences of many umbelliferous and asteraceous plants. Each flower in an inflorescence may have its own whorl of bracts, in this case called an involucel. Many asteraceous plants have bracts both at the flower base and inflorescence base. Those at the flower base — chaff (recepticular bracts) — are usually minute. Those at the base of the inflorescence or head — the involucral bracts — are usually green, narrow, and leafy. A phyllary is another term for one of the scale-like bracts beneath the flowerhead in Asteraceae species.
