In phylogenetic nomenclature, the Pentapetalae are a large group of eudicots that were informally referred to as the "core eudicots" in some papers on angiosperm phylogenetics. [2] They comprise an extremely large and diverse group accounting for about 65% of the species richness of the angiosperms , with wide variability in habit , morphology ...
Oreomecon nudicaulis, synonym Papaver nudicaule, the Iceland poppy, [2] is a boreal flowering plant. Native to subpolar regions of Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia as well as temperate China [3] (but not in Iceland), Iceland poppies are hardy but short-lived perennials, often grown as biennials.
Petals are usually surrounded by an outer whorl of modified leaves called sepals, that collectively form the calyx and lie just beneath the corolla. The calyx and the corolla together make up the perianth, the non-reproductive portion of a flower. When the petals and sepals of a flower are difficult to distinguish, they are collectively called ...
The fundamental group of a rose is free, with one generator for each petal. The universal cover is an infinite tree, which can be identified with the Cayley graph of the free group. (This is a special case of the presentation complex associated to any presentation of a group.) The intermediate covers of the rose correspond to subgroups of
Distinct petals and sepals would therefore have arisen by differentiation, probably in response to animal pollination. In typical modern flowers, the outer or enclosing whorl of organs forms sepals, specialised for protection of the flower bud as it develops, while the inner whorl forms petals, which attract pollinators .

The euasterids or core asterids are a group of 69 interrelated families in 15 orders of flowering plants. [3] [4] [a] They tend to have petals that are fused with each other and with the bases of the stamens, and just one integument (covering) around the embryo sac. [3]
