Having parts or segments that differ in number from typical forms, or referring to organisms with irregular or varying part counts.
From Greek 'allo-' (other) combined with '-merous' (having parts of a specified number, from Greek 'meros'). The term appears primarily in botanical and zoological descriptions.
Plants and flowers aren't always perfectly symmetric—a flower might have five petals on one bloom and six on another from the same plant, making it allomerous, and botanists use this term to describe these natural variations in segment numbers.
