The separate leaves of the calyx. (see: Parts of a Flower graphic.)

bract-like or leaf-like structures below the petals of a flower.

leaf like, just below flower.

The usually green but sometimes petal-like structures that enclose a flower buds.

any of the separate parts of the calyx of a flower.

the green leaves you always see on the outside of the flower. These protect the bud from being harmed.

modified leaves that enclose and protect a growing bud in flowers.

Structures that usually form the outermost whorl of the flower; collectively, the calyx.

These form the calyx and are the green petal like covering of the flowerbud before it opens.

One of the outermost modified leaves which surround and protect the re-productive organs of a plant.

Floral leaf that occurs outside the petals. Often green they sometimes are colorful and mimic petals. Together they form the calyx.

The (sometimes colorful) leaf-like parts of a flower below the petals.

Modified leaves in the outermost floral whorl, or calyx.

The outermost part of the flower; four sepals and the tube form the calyx.

the parts of the flower which cover it and protect it while it is in bud

Leaf-like structures located beneath the petals of a flower; collectively the sepals form the calyx, and are usually green. Some species of flowers lack petals, in which case the sepals may be brightly colored and take over the function of the missing petals, e. g.,marsh marigold (Family Ranunculaceae).

outermost whorl of typically green or greenish, leafy structures surrounding a flower

Modified leaves that protect a flower's inner petals and reproductive structures. Small, leaf-like structures in flowers that enclose and protect the developing flower. These are often green, but in many monocots they are the same color as the petals (in which case the term tepal is applied since sepals and petals look so much alike).

The outermost flower structures which usually enclose the other flower parts.   This part of the calyx is usually green, but can sometimes be brightly colored.   See drawing of flower parts.

The outermost ring of the flower; often green and leafy in structure. (see petal) See also flower parts drawing

the separate parts of the flower calyx that is the outside covering of a bud.

Any of the separate parts of the calyx (French sépale, from Greek skepe cover

The leaves or segments of the calyx, or outermost envelope of an ordinary flower. They are usually green, but sometimes brightly coloured. 194

the outer leaves of a flower

The petal-like structures just below the petals in some flowers. Sepals may be the same or different color, the same or different size, and in the same plane or held reflexed, as compared to the petals. In a single flower, all of the sepals taken together as a unit are called the calyx. The corolla and calyx taken together are called the perianth.

structures that usually form the outermost whorl of a flower. Together, they are called the calyx.

Green leaf-like structures around the outside of a flower (see diagram).
