A Pedicle, Pedicel, and Peduncle are the same thing : A stalk... and leaf stalk is different named.... A pedicle is what we use mostly in medicine: stalk or a long base of a tumor, benign or malignant.... A leaf stalk is called : A petiole A stalk of a flower cluster is called: Peduncle A stalk of a single flower (when it grows independently, not part of a cluster) is called : Peduncle A stalk of an individual flower in a cluster or an inflorescence is called : Pedicel A stalk of a moss capsule is also called: Pedicel: Source: based this on a few dictionaries ... An extensively illustrated Taxonomic dictionary for botany would be very handy... don't have one in my library.. could you please suggest one? thanks for the lesson....
