English term or phrase: Parental siblings
Me preguntaba si puede haber un término específico para este concepto aplicado a las plantas. Recalco que se trata de plantas, no de personas, y que hablar de hermanos de los progenitores (tíos y tías) resulta muy extraño.
Gracias de antemano a todos.

I am unable to even find "parental siblings", only "parent siblings", and even then very, very few hits.

Asker: Muchas gracias por tu dedicación y esfuerzo, Liz. Se agradece. :)
