fascicle

Published in parts

A fascicle is a bundle or cluster—most often a section of a book published in installments before the complete volume appears: The dictionary was issued in fascicles over several years.

In anatomy, a fascicle is a bundle of nerve or muscle fibers.

In botany, it's a tight cluster of flowers, leaves, or stems emerging from a common point.
