Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: mono- comb. form, sepal n., -ous suffix.

Etymology: < mono- comb. form + sepal n. + -ous suffix, after French monosépale ( N. J. Necker Phytozoologie philos. (1790) 56). Compare Italian monosépalo (a1828). Compare disepalous adj., trisepalous adj. at tri- comb. form 1a(a), tetrasepalous adj. at tetra- comb. form 1, pentasepalous adj. at penta- comb. form 1, polysepalous adj. N.E.D. (1908) gives only the pronunciation (mǫnose·păləs) /mɒnəʊˈsɛpələs/.

Botany.

Of a calyx or involucre: having the parts (sepals or bracts) united; = gamosepalous adj. at gamo- comb. form 1. Cf. monophyllous adj. 1.

1830 J. Lindley Introd. Nat. Syst. Bot. 24 In Sclerantheæ the calyx is always monosepalous.

1837 P. Keith Bot. Lexicon (at cited word) If the calyx of any flower consists merely of a single piece, or sepal, or of several sepals united, it is said to be monosepalous, as in Primula.

1861 R. Bentley Man. Bot. i. iv. 225 When a monosepalous calyx is entire, the number of sepals can then only be ascertained by the venation.

1910 Encycl. Brit. X. 562/2 The sepals are sometimes free or separate from each other, at other times they are united to a greater or less extent; in the former case, the calyx is polysepalous, in the latter gamosepalous or monosepalous.
