Meaning of "ebracteate" in English

"Ebracteate" is a botanical term used to describe a plant or flower that lacks bracts, which are specialized leaves typically located near the reproductive structures of a plant. Bracts often serve as protective scales or offer some form of functional advantage. In this context, "ebracteate" indicates a structural characteristic of plants where these typical elements are absent. This feature can influence the appearance and development of certain plant species, affecting pollination processes or the way they interact with their environment.
