The outermost part of the perianth The function of the calyx is to protect the bud Often green Composed of multiple divisions individually called sepals
(botany) the whorl of sepals of a flower collectively forming the outer floral envelope or layer of the perianth enclosing and supporting the developing bud; usually green
the outermost whorl of sepals whose job is to protect a developing flower It is usually green and is what we would recognize as the outside covering of a bud
The outer part (perianth) of the flower, usually green, formed of several divisions called sepals, protecting the bud In thymes it's the bit the flower comes out of capitate (syn capitiform, alt capitose) Shaped like a head; collected into a head or dense cluster cilium (pl cilia) A short, usually stiff, usually unicellular, marginal hair which in thymes may sometimes be found on the leaves and/or calyx teeth ciliate Marginally fringed with hairs (cilia)
Collective term for the sepals of a flower, i.e. the outermost whorl of flower parts, when this is not the same in appearance as the next such whorl (the corolla)
The outer collar of the cup formed at the distal end of the Inner Segment and used as an extrusion die in the formation of the disks of the Outer Segment Archaic: The structure surrounding the cilia as they enter the photoreceptor cell adjacent to the cup at the distal end of the Inner Segment See ciliary transport
