Short description: Fusion of multiple whorls of a flower to petals
The tropical pitcher plant Nepenthes adnata is named for its adnate leaf bases
Adnation in angiosperms is the fusion of two or more whorls of a flower, e.g. stamens to petals".[1] This is in contrast to connation, the fusion among a single whorl.[2][3]
The stamens of Primula vulgaris are adnate to the corolla
