\Se"pal\, n. [NL. sepalum, formed in imitation of NL.
petalum, petal, to denote one of the divisions of the calyx:
cf. F. s['e]pale.] (Bot.)
A leaf or division of the calyx.
Note: When the calyx consists of but one part, it is said to
      be monosepalous; when of two parts, it is said to be
      disepalous; when of a variable and indefinite number of
      parts, it is said to be polysepalous; when of several
      parts united, it is properly called gamosepalous.
