Adnation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tropical pitcher plant Nepenthes adnata is named for its adnate leaf bases

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]

The stamens of Primula vulgaris are adnate to the corolla
