Describing flowers that have sepals fused or joined together into a single structure; having united sepals.
From Greek 'gamos' (fusion) + Latin 'sepalum' (sepal) + '-ous' (having). Botanical classification term from 18th-19th century plant taxonomy.
When sepals (the green leaf-like parts protecting flowers) fuse together, they create a sturdier protective cup that can withstand rain and wind better than separate pieces.
