monosepalous (medicine)


monosepalous
<botany> Having only one sepal, or the calyx in one piece or composed of the sepals united into one piece; gamosepalous.

The most recent writers restrict this term to flowers having a solarity sepal, and use gamosepalous for a calyx formed by several sepals combined into one piece. Cf. Monopetalous.

Origin: Mono- + sepal: cf. F. Monosepale.
