monopetalous |
1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Monopetalous \Mon`o*pet"al*ous\, a. [Mono- + petal: cf F. monop['e]tale.] (Bot.) Having only one petal, or the corolla in one piece, or composed of petals cohering so as to form a tube or bowl; gamopetalous. Note: The most recent authors restrict this form to flowers having a solitary petal, as in species of {Amorpha}, and use {gamopetalous} for a corolla of several petals combined into one piece. See Illust. of {Gamopetalous}.
