Prophyll

one of the tiny reduced leaves near the base of a lateral branch. Dicotyledonous plants have two prophylls. Monocotyledons have one prophyll, which is usually bicarinate; this indicates its formation by means of the concrescence of two prophylls (a characteristic attesting to the secondariness of monocotyledons). Prophylls located near an inflorescence and lateral flowers are called bracts.
