“extrafloral nectarie”
An organ that secretes, often no more than small patches of tissue producing sugary secretions that possibly contain amino acids, attractive to ants and other insects. By definition, extrafloaral nectaries are not involved in pollination, although they may occur on the flower outside the perianth or the outer parts of a flower consisting of the calyx and corolla and enclosing the stamens and pistils.
