Corolla
[\N]
Webster's Dictionary 1828
COROL, COROLLA noun [Latin , a little crown.] In botany, the inner covering of a flower. The
corol surrounds the parts of
fructification, and is composed of one or more flower leaves, called petals. It is distinguished from the
perianth, by the fineness of its texture and the gayness of its colors; but there are many exceptions. It is sometimes inaccurately called
blossom and flower.
