Grammar
an abortive flower
Hi, everyone.
We Japanese call the flowers "muda-bana" that don't bear any fruit.
I consulted a dictionary, which says that it is called "an abortive flower" in Enlish.
Is there any single word meaning that in English?

Thanks for the help but I think I gave insufficient information.
This is the case.
A plant blooms. Some flowers of it do bear fruits but others don't.
We call the latter Muda-Bana.
MUDA means 'useless' and Bana 'a flower.'

I just call them flowers. If it bears fruit, it's a fruit-tree flower or blossom. I don't know what you call flowers that are simply pretty and are not part of a fuit-bearing tree.

Sorry to be late to thank you all.
It seems to me that sterile sounds sad indeed but closer to the meaning of 'muda.'
Everybody isn't always happy!
