flower=floret

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Everyone,

As I was working on the monocot flower development part with Jen Clark
from GO, we came up with a discussion point saying flower being
equivalent to floret.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=440764&aid=966600&group_id=36855

So the question raised by Jen is why not just call it a synonym of
flower. Also taking advantage of the PARTOF relationship which also
means a child is a PART_OF but NOT_ALWAYS a PART_OF, we can have a
structure like this for anatomy ontology

flower; synonym:floret, floret (sensu Poaceae)
-p-corolla
---p-petal
-p-calyx
---p-sepal
-p-tepal
-p-lemma
-p-palea
-p-androecium
---p-stamen
-p-gynoecium
---p-carpel

This may help in retrieving instantiations of most of generic terms for
  sensu poaceae.
However how is it going to effect sensu Zea, I have to think about it.
