1. Pedicel

   A pedicel is a stem that attaches single flowers to the main stem of the inflorescence. It is the branches or stalks that hold each flower in an inflorescence that contains more than one flower. The stem or branch that holds a group of pedicels is called a peduncle. Pedicels are of importance in certain varieties of the pumpkin or squash plants, where genetic engineers are trying to optimize the size and shape of the pedicel for the best "lid" for a "jack-o-lantern".
