Floscule

/ˈflɒskjuːl/ noun

Definition

A very small flower or floret; a tiny flower-like structure in a flower head, especially in composite flowers like daisies.

Etymology

From Latin 'flosculus' (small flower, diminutive of 'flos'). The term was adopted into botanical English to describe the individual florets that make up complex flower heads in plants like Asteraceae.

Kelly Says

When you look at a daisy closely, each tiny 'petal' is actually a complete miniature flower called a floscule—the whole head is made of hundreds of these tiny perfect flowers clustered together.
