| What is the difference between persistent sepals and deciduous sepals? I'm trying to identify a flower, but I don't know how to tell if it has persistent or deciduous sepals.
I assume persistent sepals stay on, but for how long?
Any help would be appreciated. |

| It would normally mean that the sepals have fallen by the time the flower reaches anthesis. I'd expect that if the sepals are persistent on the fruit that a key would specify that. |
