floret

If well rubbed after threshing, the floret is nearly smooth, otherwise it contains on the lower half numerous webby hairs.

Every blade of grass, each leaf, each separate floret and petal, is an inscription speaking of hope.

It is a tubular floret, split down on one side, with the united petals forming a straplike projection.

As late as Cotgrave we find floret, "a foile; a sword with the edge rebated."

The relative positions of the parts of the floret are shown in the floral diagrams.
