Descriptive of pappus bristles / hairs with small teeth or serrations.

The scar at the base of the fruit, where it was connected to the receptacle of the flowering head via the flower stalk or pedicel. If the carpopodium is central at the base of the fruit, it generally means that the fruit developed on a flat receptacle, whereas oblique scars suggest conical receptacles.

A thin stalk separating the fertile (seed-bearing) part of the fruit from the pappus in some members of the daisy family. A classic example is true dandelion.
