Sepals
Modified leaves that protect a flower's inner petals and reproductive structures. Small, leaf-like structures in flowers that enclose and protect the developing flower. These are often green, but in many monocots they are the same colour as the petals (in which case the term tepal is applied since sepals and petals look so much alike).
