bracteole (PO:0009043)

Current Def'n: A small leaf or leaves borne singly or in pairs on the pedicel, the prophyll(s) of the flower-shoot (pedicel plus flower). Source: APweb:Glossary

It is a child of prophyll, so this definition is inconsistent, as prophylls are phyllomes, not leaves

Proposed Revised def’n: bracteole (PO:0009043): A prophyll (PO:0009042) which is borne singly or in pairs on a pedicel (PO:0030112).

Should this be a child of bract rather than prophyll?? Bract and prophyll are sibling terms
