Hi. About this one:<br>
"The flowers are arranged in [[:wikt:cymose|cymose]] determinate [[inflorescence]]s at the extremity of a [[Scape (botany)|scape]], sometimes compacted and similar to [[umbel]]s—for which they are called "pseudoumbels"—rarely reduced to solitary flowers." <br>
Does it mean: <br>
"The flowers are arranged in [[:wikt:cymose|cymose]] that determinate [[inflorescence]]s at the extremity of a [[Scape (botany)|scape]]. These inflorescences are sometimes compacted and similar to [[umbel]]s, and in that case are called "pseudoumbels". They are rarely reduced to solitary flowers." <br>
or does it mean something else?

And this one: <br>
The involucral [[bract]]s, those enclosing the flower buds, may be present or absent. <br>
"those" is ambiguous. Can mean : <br>
"The involucral [[bract]]s, which enclose the flower buds, may be present or absent." <br>
Meaning there are no other bracts than those enclosing the flower buds. <br>
or <br>
"The involucral [[bract]]s which enclose the flower buds, may be present or absent." <br>
Meaning that there may be other bracts apart from the ones that may be present around the flower buds.

Thank you for making that clear and understandable. [[Special:Contributions/91.164.158.11|91.164.158.11]] ([[User talk:91.164.158.11|talk]]) 10:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. About this one:
"The flowers are arranged in cymose determinate inflorescences at the extremity of a scape, sometimes compacted and similar to umbels—for which they are called "pseudoumbels"—rarely reduced to solitary flowers."
Does it mean:
"The flowers are arranged in cymose that determinate inflorescences at the extremity of a scape. These inflorescences are sometimes compacted and similar to umbels, and in that case are called "pseudoumbels". They are rarely reduced to solitary flowers."
or does it mean something else?

"those" is ambiguous. Can mean :
"The involucral bracts, which enclose the flower buds, may be present or absent."
Meaning there are no other bracts than those enclosing the flower buds.
or
"The involucral bracts which enclose the flower buds, may be present or absent."
