podetium
/pəʊˈdiːʃ(ɪ)əm/Botany
noun
In some lichens (especially of the genus Cladonia): a lichenized stalk-like portion of a fruticose apothecium, bearing spore-producing tissue at its tip.
- The podetium was originally considered to be a stalk bearing an apothecium, rather than part of the apothecium itself..
Origin
Early 19th century; earliest use found in James Edward Smith (1759–1828), botanist. From scientific Latin podetium, apparently from ancient Greek ποδ-, πούς foot with arbitrary extended ending.
