Questions
edit- "A head where the bracts form an involucre under the basis is called a capitulum - should that be basis, or base?
- Probably "base".
- Ray and disc flowers or ray and disc florets?
- Either is fine. "floret" is a technical term for 'em. Asteraceae and Flower both mention "floret."
- "The capitulum is considered the most evolved form of inflorescence" - most evolved seems a bit odd - most derived maybe? Guettarda 00:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- True, but it's a 1964 source. Guettarda 13:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think I might have to doublecheck, but I think it's a more recent reedition. It's no worse than the 1961 Lemon reference in Deciduous,IMHO. Circeus 19:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- Is the term flower head appropriate for a flower structure in the Asteraceae family that retains undifferentiated flowers as does Ericameria nauseosa?
