caulis

Flores ♂ glomerati; glomeruli pedunculati, axillares, in apice caulis nudi.

In the middle ages the general literary term throughout Europe was coles (or colis) from caulis, a stalk, and virga, a rod.

Its stalk affords an excellent example of the caulis anceps.

Caulis: the funicle of antenna: the corneous basal part of jaws.
