Main types of aestivation are valvate, twisted,
imbricate and vexillary.
When sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one
another at the margin, without overlapping, as in
Calotropis, it is said to be valvate.
If one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the
next one and so on as in china rose, lady’s finger and
cotton, it is called twisted.
If the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another
but not in any particular direction as in Cassia and
gulmohur, the aestivation is called imbricate.
In pea and bean flowers, there are five petals, the
largest (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals

Universal rules of nomenclature are as follows:
1. Biological names are generally in Latin and
written in italics. They are Latinised or derived
from Latin irrespective of their origin.
2. The first word in a biological name represents
the genus while the second component denotes
the specific epithet.
3. Both the words in a biological name, when
handwritten, are separately underlined, or
printed in italics to indicate their Latin origin.

axon.
They are commonly found in autonomous and the
