The real flowers (the florets) are generally small and often greatly reduced, but the pseudanthium itself can sometimes be quite large (as in the heads of some varieties of sunflower).
The disk flowers in the center of the pseudanthium are actinomorphic and the corolla is fused into a tube.
[4][5] The individual flowers of a pseudanthium in the family Asteraceae (or Compositae) are commonly called florets.
[8] The collection of independent organs into a complex structure is called synorganization.
[citation needed] At least one source defines it as a small flower head.
