Capitulum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Capitulum can refer to several things:
- In botany, a type of flower head where the bracts are located under the basis, such as a Daisy's
- In anatomy, the Capitulum of the humerus
- The Latin word for a Chapter
- In entomology, a structure similar to an elaiosome found on the eggs of some species of stick insects, like the genus Bacteria, which encourages ants to pick them up and carry them away. The ants bury the eggs, where they are less likely to be parasitized by wasps
