What is another word for Resupination?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪsˌuːpɪnˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Resupination refers to the orientation of a flower where the axis of the flower is twisted 180 degrees. Synonyms for this word include resupinate, inverted, upside down, and reversed. Resupination often occurs in orchids, where the flowers turn over so that the labellum, or lip, faces downwards. This orientation is thought to have evolved as a way to attract specific pollinators that can navigate the complex shapes and colors of orchid flowers. Resupination can also occur in other plant species for various reasons, such as to protect the reproductive structures from rain or to optimize light exposure. Regardless of the reason, resupination is a fascinating aspect of plant morphology that demonstrates the adaptability of these organisms.
