Botany

The floral meristems are formed acropetally and are initiated on the periphery of the inflorescence meristem, being protected by bracts.
Example sentencesExamples
- Bracts are initiated acropetally on the racemose inflorescence, or below the terminal flower.
- One year after its extension period, each shoot develops axillary branches (including the relay shoot) whose vigour increases acropetally.
- On each plant, leaves were identified on day 0 according to their nodal position with respect to the youngest fully expanded leaf, L0, and numbered acropetally, L1, L2, etc.
- The abaxial surface of the wings bears hairs that are directed acropetally to the awn/wing interface and then become oriented towards the tip of the wing.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek akron 'tip' + Latin petere 'seek' + -al.
