WHAT DOES HYPANTHIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hypanthium

In angiosperms the fusions of two floral parts or adnation is referred to as the hypanthium. The hypanthium is where the calyx, stamens and a partly fused portion of the corolla forms a cup shaped tube that surrounds the carpels. It can often contain the nectar or pollen of the plant. It is present in most flowering species, although can slightly vary in structural dimensions and appearance. This differentiation between the hypanthium in particular species is useful with identification. Some geometric forms are obconic shapes asit in toyon, whereas some are saucer-shaped as in some species of the genus Mitellastra. Its presence is diagnostic of many families, including the Rosaceae, Grossulariaceae, and Fabaceae. In some cases, it can be so deep, with such a narrow top, that the flower can appear to have an inferior ovary - the ovary is below the other attached floral parts. The hypanthium is known by different common names in differing species. For example, in the eucalypts, it is referred to as the gum nut.
