A fleuron is a flower-shaped ornament, and in architecture may have a number of meanings:

It is a collective noun for the ornamental termination at the ridge of a roof, such as a crop, finial or épi.
It is also a form of stylised Late Gothic decoration in the form of a four-leafed square, often seen on crockets and cavetto mouldings.
It can be the ornament in the middle of each concave face of a Corinthian abacus.
Finally, it can be a form of anthemion, a Greek floral ornament.
