In botany, describing a flower where the sepals are not joined together; having separate or free sepals.
From apo- (away) + sepal (from French sépale, from the Greek sepal-). The prefix indicates sepals that are separated or not fused together.
When botanists examine a flower's structure, counting whether sepals are fused or separate (aposepalous) is like reading nature's instruction manual for how that plant evolved and how insects pollinate it.
