"Achlamydeous" is an adjective used to describe a plant or flower that lacks floral organs such as petals, sepals, or a perianth. The term "achlamydeous" is derived from the Greek words "a," meaning "without," and "chlamys," meaning "cloak" or "covering." Plants that are achlamydeous typically have small, inconspicuous flowers that are often wind-pollinated, and may rely on other methods, such as scent or color, to attract pollinators. Examples of achlamydeous plants include grasses, sedges, and some trees such as the willow.
