Merosity (from the greek "méros," which means "having parts") refers to the number of component parts in a distinct whorl of a plant structure. [1] The term is most commonly used in the context of a flower where it refers to the number of sepals in a whorl of the calyx, the number of petals in a whorl of the corolla, the number of stamens in a whorl of the androecium, or the number of carpels ...
