Adnation

Botanical term for the fusion of multiple whorls of a flower From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In botany, adnation is the fusion of two or more whorls of a flower, e.g. stamens to petals, within angiosperms (flowering plants).[1] This is in contrast to connation, the fusion among a single whorl.[2][3]
