Virescence
Virescence is the abnormal development of green pigment (biology), pigmentation in plant parts that are not normally green, like Plant shoots, shoots or flowers (in which case it is known as floral virescence). Virescence is closely associated with phyllody (the abnormal development of flower parts into leaves) and witch's broom (the abnormal growth of a dense mass of shoots from a single point). They are often symptoms of the same Plant pathology, disease affecting the plants, typically those caused by phytoplasmas. The term chloranthy is also sometimes used for floral virescence, though it is more commonly used for phyllody. The term was coined around 1825, from Latin ''virescere'', "to become green". In the English language the term wikt:virescent, virescent may also refer to Green (color), greenness (cf. wikt:verdant, verdant).
