Summary

Description

Banksia menziesii bract pattern.svg

This is a diagram showing the bract pattern on inflorescences of Banksia menziesii. Similar patterns occur in other Banksia species.

The pattern is composed of many individual flower pairs. A single flower pair is highlighted here. The large diamond is a common bract. The two ovals are floral bracts. The two circles show the approximate location and size of the base of the flowers.

This pattern is most often seen on fruiting spikes after the flowers have fallen. In these cases the former locations of the flower bases are usually not visible, but the bracts are and still retain this pattern. An example of this can be seen in File:Banksia menziesii cone.jpg.
