What is another word for bracts?
Pronunciation: [bɹˈakts] (IPA) 
Bracts are specialized leaves that protect or support a flower or inflorescence. Synonyms for "bracts" include "follage bracts," "floral leaves," and "involucral bracts." Foliage bracts are typically associated with poinsettias and other plants that have colorful leaves that resemble flowers. Floral leaves, on the other hand, may be small and inconspicuous, or they may be large and showy. These leaves can be found in many different shapes and sizes, and their color and texture may vary depending on the species of plant. Involucral bracts are another type of bract that are typically found surrounding the base of a flower cluster.
