the fleshy axis of a spike often surrounded by a spathe
Word origin
Via Latin spādīx from Ancient Greek σπᾱ́δῑξ (spā́dīx, “palm branch”).
Used in a sentence
“The spadix of this plant is frequently quite white, or coloured, and the leaves liable to be streaked with white, and to have black, or scarlet blotches on them.”
“However, the shells of modern nautiluses show the opposite pattern—males are somewhat larger than females, with a wider aperture to accommodate the spadix.”
