sepaln.

/ˈsɛpəl/

Etymology: < French sépale, modern Latin sepalum (N. J. de Necker, Phytologie philosophique, 1790, p. 55, and Corollarium ad Philosophiam botanicam Linnæi, 1790, p. 18). Necker derives the word from Greek σκέπη covering; as he refused to acknowledge the distinction between the calyx and the corolla (using the term perigynanda to comprise both), sépale (sepalum) in his use denotes the petals as well as what are now called ‘sepals’.

1. Botany. Each of the divisions or leaves of the calyx of a flower.
