scape
Leafless flower stalk
Scape is a suffix meaning a view or scene of a particular type: landscape, seascape, cityscape, moonscape.
It freely combines with nouns to create new formations: soundscape, dreamscape, mediascape.
On its own, scape appears in botany for a leafless flower stalk rising directly from the ground, as in tulips or dandelions.
