WHAT DOES CYATHIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cyathium

Cyathium

A cyathium is one of the specialised pseudanthia forming the inflorescence of plants in the genus Euphorbia. A cyathium consists of: ▪ Five bracteoles. These are small, united bracts, which form a cup-like involucre. Their upper tips are free and in the beginning cover the opening of the involucre. These alternate with: ▪ Five nectar glands, which are sometimes fused. ▪ One extremely reduced female flower standing in the centre at the base of the involucre, consisting of an ovary on a short stem with pistil, and surrounded by: ▪ Five groups of extremely reduced male flowers, which each consist of a single anther on a stem. The flower-like characteristics of the cyathia are underlined by brightly coloured nectar glands and often by petal-like appendages to the nectar glands, or brightly coloured, petal-like bracts positioned under the cyathia. The paired petal-like bracts of Euphorbia section Goniostema are called cyathophylls.
