bracteole
💡 Explanation:
A bracteole (also called a bractlet) is a small bract-like structure that may be present on the pedicel (the stalk of a single flower). A bract is a leaf-like structure at the base of an inflorescence, not on the pedicel itself. Leaf base is part of the leaf, and epicalyx is a whorl of bracts below the calyx.
