Phyllome

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Phyllome 

a lateral organ of a shoot of higher plants. The phyllome consists of the vegetative leaves, sporophylls (leaves on which sporangia are located), and all parts of the flower. Although the vegetative leaves and sporophylls arose simultaneously and have a common origin, they developed independently from and parallel to one another in the process of evolution.

We concluded that, in the helobial monocotyledons as a whole, inflorescence bracts, sepals, and tepals are homologous structures derived from the phyllomic appendages of the original multiaxial reproductive structure and, therefore, that the divergence between the petaloid and tepaloid groups involved divergence of the relationships between phyllome and subtended structure, at the same time as the axes of the original multiaxial structure became differentiated into "flower" and "inflorescence.
