PERIANTH


The term 'perianth' has two similar but separate meanings in botany:

★ In flowering plants, the perianth is the outer, sterile whorls of a flower (see sepal, petal, and tepal).

★ In a liverwort, perianth is the sterile tubelike tissue that surrounds the female reproductive structure (or developing sporophyte).
