What does SEPAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
One of the small, leaf-like parts that together form the calyx of a flower, usually enclosing and protecting the petals before it opens.
A sepal often looks like a miniature green leaf and sits just beneath the more colourful petals, forming a protective case around the delicate bud while it develops. In some flowers, such as certain lilies, the sepals grow large and colourful enough to be mistaken for petals themselves, blurring the line between the two structures. Botanists count the number and arrangement of sepals as one clue when identifying a plant family, since the pattern often stays consistent across related species. Once a flower opens fully, the sepals usually remain at its base, sometimes folding back beneath the open bloom.
