Image Zanlophator1a.UME.jpg right 200px thumb A lilium flower showing the tepals the inner three are petals and the outer three are sepals. Tepals are elements of the perianth , or outer part of a flower , which include the petal s or sepal s. The term tepal is more often applied specifically when all segments of the perianth are of similar shape and color, or undifferentiated, which is called perigone . When different types of organs can be distinguished, they are referred to as petals and sepals. Undifferentiated tepals are thought to be the ancestral condition in flowering plant s. Amborella , which is thought to have separated earliest in the evolution of flowering plants, ref Louis P. Ronse De Craene Are Petals Sterile Stamens or Bracts? The Origin and Evolution of Petals in the Core Eudicots Annals of Botany doi 10.1093 aob mcm076 ref has flowers with undifferentiated tepals. Distinct petals and sepals would therefore have arisen by differentiation, probably in response to animal pollination. In typical modern flowers, the outer or enclosing Whorl botany whorl of organs forms sepals, specialised for protection of the flower bud as it develops, while the inner whorl forms petals, which attract pollinator s. In some plants the flowers have no petals, and all the tepals are sepals modified to look like petals. These organs are described as petaloid , e.g. the sepals of Hellebore . Undifferentiated tepals are common in Monocotyledon s. In tulip s, for example, the first and second whorls both contain structures that look like petals. These are fused at the base to form one large, showy, six parted structure. In Lilium lilies the organs in the first whorl are separate from the second, but all look similar, thus all the showy parts are often called tepals. Usage of the term tepal is inconsistent some authors refer to sepals and petals where others use the word tepals in the same context. gallery caption Flowers with tepals Image Tulip floriade canberra02.jpg A Tulip ... more details
File Aestivation.png thumb A diagram showing some kinds of tepal aestivation in flower buds. A imbricate B,C cochleate D contorted E valvate F open. Aestivation or estivation , refers to the positional arrangement of the parts of a flower within a flower bud before it has opened. It can be an important taxonomic diagnostic for example Malvaceae flower buds have valvate sepals, with the exception of the genera Fremontodendron and Chiranthodendron , which have sometimes been misplaced as a result. Classes of aestivation include cochleate contorted or twisted every tepal is outside its neighbour on one margin, and inside its neighbout on the other margin contortiplicate crumpled decussate imbricate where one tepal is outside all others, one is inside all others, and the others are outside on one margin and inside on the other induplicate open tepals do not overlap or even touch each other quincuncial reduplicate valvate sepals touch without overlapping Aestivation is also sometimes referred to as praefoliation or prefoliation , but these terms may also mean vernation the arrangement of leaves within a vegetative bud.
