A small bract is called a bracteole or bractlet. "Crocus sativus" has a corm, which holds leaves, bracts, bracteole, and the flowering stalk. During the late period, the bract/bracteole are easily visible to the naked eye. Bracteole morphology present on the stem is used for taxonomic classification of Amaranth. Each has a small bracteole, three sepals forming a cylindrical tube, and a three-lobed corolla. The lower bracteole buds occasionally, and are long and a little hairy.
