Polysepalous, pol-i-sep′a-lus, adj. having the sepals separate from each other.

The sepals are sometimes free or separate from each other, at other times they are united to a greater or less extent; in the former case, the calyx is polysepalous, in the latter gamosepalous or monosepalous.

In a polysepalous calyx the number of the parts is indicated by Greek numerals prefixed; thus, a calyx which has three sepals is trisepalous; one with five sepals is pentasepalous.

Polysepalous, to the calyx when of separate sepals or calyx-leaves.

Polysepalous, same as the last when applied to the calyx, 89.
