The '''receptacle''' is also called the ''floral axis'', or it is sometimes called the ''torus'', which may be translated as "swelling". These expressions ''per se'' imply that, although in the majority of cases the '''receptacle''' is greatly reduced, it is frequently thickened in a capitate form or broadened into a definitely disc-like shape.}}

The '''receptacle''' may be flat or convex. It may bear tiny scales called paleae. The paleae of a '''receptacle''' are referred to as chaff. '''Receptacles''' without paleae are said to be epaleate or naked. When the paleae are shed, they may leave either a smooth or a pitted '''receptacle'''. Occasionally, hairs, scales, or bristles may also be present on the '''receptacle'''.}}
