One of the flower parts of the outer orders, the sepal forming a calyx.

One of the outer whorl of floral leaves (usually green) that surround the petals (corolla) of a flower.


One of the parts of the calyx, usually green, leaf like and sometimes colored and showy, as in hellebores and clematis. In many one-seed-leaf plants the sepals are almost indistinguishable from the petals, as in lilies and tulips.


An individual segment or part of the calyx; typically green, but sometimes enlarged and brightly colored.
