floral axis Explanation: I found this on the online Encarta: Every flower is a terminal branch consisting of a modified stem, the floral axis, or receptacle. The floral axis bears one to four types of specialized appendages, or modified leaves, usually arranged in whorls in the more advanced flowers and spirally arranged in the more primitive ones. In a typical flower the outermost whorl, the calyx, consists of a number of sepals that protect the flower bud before it blooms. HTH |

floral tube Explanation: An apple is a pome or accessory fruit, and it is formed not just from the ovary but other parts of the flower as well. The website I gave you explains this in more detail. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pome |
