There are already two well-recognized terms/names for this concept. There's no need to create confusion by inventing something new.
Remember, too, that the answers here go into a database that translators will be consulting in the future. Correct terminology improves the value of the database; incorrect terminology diminishes it.
Botany is a science. Scientists speak in very specific terms to facilitate communication.
I can't believe that I am being challenged to defend this position!
