Floral Formula
A floral formula is a format used to depict the structure of specific types of flowers. These notations utilize numbers, characters, and different symbols to communicate important information in an efficient way.
A bract is a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis or cone scale. Bracts are often different from foliage leaves. They may be smaller, larger, or of a different color, shape, or texture.

A small bract is called a bracteole or bractlet. Technically this is any bract that arises on a pedicel instead of subtending it.
An epicalyx is a type of bracteole that creates an extra whorl around the calyx of a single flower.
A flower without any Bracteoles.
A flower without whorls.
Indefinite floral parts in a whorl.
A flower that can be divided into three or more matching sectors that are connected by rotation around the flower's centre.
Only one plane may divide a flower into two mirror-image parts.
The calyx, or outermost whorl of components that make a flower, is made up of the sepals.
The corolla is the collective name for a flower's petals.
The perianth is the flower's non-reproductive element that creates an envelope around the sexual organs.
A flower's pollen-producing reproductive organ is the stamen. The stamens work together to generate the androecium.
The gynoecium is the central whorl of a flower; it is composed of pistils and is usually bordered by the androecium.
A flower with both male and female structures, i.e. Stamens and Carpels in one structure.
A Flower will be functionally male.
A Flower will be functionally female.
A flower having five distinct sepals.
A flower having five united sepals.
A flower having five distinct petals.
A flower having five united petals.
Stamens attached to the leaf.
Stamens attached to the corolla.
Stamens free, three in numbers.
Stamens present as two whorls, four in numbers.
Stamens ten in numbers, present as diadelphous – Nine stamens unite to form one bundle and one other bundle.
Stamen without anther. Pollen will not be produced.
Pistil with reduced size and function.
Half of the ovary surrounded by the receptacle.
Ovary is seen below the floral parts.
Ovary is seen above the floral parts.
