polypetalous

Reseda, rē-sē′da, n. a genus of polypetalous plants, the mignonette family.

Drosera�ce�, a nat. ord. of polypetalous Dicotyledons, consisting of insectivorous marsh herbs, whose leaves are usually covered with glands or glandular hairs.

In some polypetalous corollas, as that of the vine, the petals are separate at the base and adhere by the apices.

Irregular Flowers may be polypetalous, or nearly so, as in the papilionaceous corolla; but most of them are irregular through coalescence, which often much disguises the numerical symmetry also.

The same relationship, but in a much less degree, exists in the case of median prolification, as that aberration is likewise most commonly met with in polypetalous flowers.
