cupules

基本解释

The nuts were originally described as being separate from the cupules except for the basal part, but the authors found a considerable portion of the nut to be adnate to the cupule.
原描述說堅果除基部外均與殼鬭離生，但作者發現相儅多的堅果是與殼鬭貼生的。
Cupules grouped together in cymes on rachis but often many aborted, corky, horny, woody, or crustaceous, completely or partly enclosing nut;
殼鬭在軸上聚繖狀，但是通常很多中止發育，木栓質、角質、木質，或者殼質，完全或者部分包圍堅果；
cupules in clusters of 3-5.
用3-5的群的殼鬭。
