Mature flowers are scarlet without clear differentiation between bracteoles, sepals or petals.
Ontogenetic studies of the bracteoles in Chenopodiaceae could contribute to resolution of a robust phylogeny for the family.
Each fertile shoot is composed of two fused bracteoles, which surround the microsporophyll.
Segmented pedicels that bear mature fruiting bracteoles are present in Obione moneta, whereas bracteoles are strongly adherent to the stem in 0. leucoclada.
The genera of Atripliceae, as the tribe is traditionally defined, have flowers that are usually unisexual and enclosed by well-developed bracteoles.
Definition of bracteole in US English:

nounˈbraktēˌōl
A small bract, especially one on a floral stem.
