Relating to or designating a flower or plant where the calyx and corolla are fused or appear as a single structure.
Combination of 'calyc-' (calyx) and '-anthemous' (from Greek 'anthos,' flower), describing flowers where these parts seem unified.
In these flowers, it's impossible to tell where the sepals stop and the petals begin—they're fused together so completely that botanists had to invent a whole word to describe this sneaky identity crisis!
