Eleutherosepalouss

/ɪˌluːðəroʊˈsɛpələs/ adjective

Definition

In botany, describing flowers with sepals that are separate and free from one another rather than fused together.

Etymology

From Greek eleutheros 'free' and sepalum 'sepal' (the green leaves that protect flower buds). Describes a specific botanical characteristic.

Kelly Says

Elutherosepelous flowers are like having a protective cup around your flower where each green petal is its own thing—it's actually a more primitive and ancient flower design.
