One part of the outermost whorl of a flower, part of the calyx, often green and protecting the flower in bud.<\/p>\n

One of the outer whorl of floral leaves (usually green) that surround the petals (corolla) of a flower.<\/p>\n

An individual segment or part of the calyx; typically green, but sometimes enlarged and brightly colored.<\/p>\n

One of the lowest whorl of appendages of a flower, sometimes green (as in roses), or sometimes colored (as in lilies and orchids).<\/p>\n

An outer flower leaf, usually green but may be petal-like; the sepals collectively form the calyx.<\/p>\n
