a. [ Mono- + sepal: cf. F. monosépale. ] (Bot.) Having only one sepal, or the calyx in one piece or composed of the sepals united into one piece; gamosepalous. [ 1913 Webster ]
☞ The most recent writers restrict this term to flowers having a solarity sepal, and use gamosepalous for a calyx formed by several sepals combined into one piece. Cf. Monopetalous. [ 1913 Webster ]
n. [ NL. sepalum, formed in imitation of NL. petalum, petal, to denote one of the divisions of the calyx: cf. F. sépale. ] (Bot.) A leaf or division of the calyx. [ 1913 Webster ]
☞ When the calyx consists of but one part, it is said to be monosepalous; when of two parts, it is said to be disepalous; when of a variable and indefinite number of parts, it is said to be polysepalous; when of several parts united, it is properly called gamosepalous. [ 1913 Webster ]
