A cross fleury

A cross fleury (or flory) is a cross adorned at the ends with flowers in heraldry.[1] It generally contains the fleur-de-lis, trefoils, etc. Synonyms or minor variants include fleuretty, fleuronny, floriated and flourished.[2]

In early armory, it is not consistently distinguished from the cross patonce.[3]
