[edit] Tepal

Hi Hardyplants. Can I ask about your edits to the page on tepals? The description that you added on 11 December, titled "clean up and clarify" seems to be at odds with the usual definition of a tepal. Do you have links to any material which supports your definition? Thanks. Owl 14:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


Can you be more specific about what you are questioning, I listed two sources on 'additional reading'

In flowering plants tepals are the precursor's to petals and sepals, petals and sepals come from tepals. Just as wings in bird come from arms. In some plants the petals and sepals have been modified to look the same then they are called tepals, this is the classic definition in plant morphology. The word has two meanings depending on its usage and application. Hardyplants 16:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


I didn't produce the first part but brought it up from the original start of the article. Keep in mind that Magnolia is the proposed fist flowering plant line. I do not believe any modern Magnolia corresponds the first of its kind. I will look at the article and move the first section- since you are right that its a meaning that is rarely used and should not be at the beginning. Take a look at it now and see what you think.
