Which Flowers Have Sepals?

Examples of plants in which the term tepal is appropriate include genera such as Aloe and Tulipa. In contrast, genera such as Rosa and Phaseolus have well-distinguished sepals and petals. The number of sepals in a flower is its merosity. Flower merosity is indicative of a plant's classification.

Do all flowers have sepals?

Complete Flowers

Some plants don't form distinct petals and sepals, but they have one undifferentiated whorl comprised of structures called tepals. Petals, sepals, stamens and pistils are not formed on all flowers, but when they do the flower is said to be “complete.”

Which flower do not have sepals?

Calla Lily. Not only is the calla lily apetalous, it is asepalous, lacking the sepals that would normally be located on the outermost part of a complete flower. (Complete flowers have all four of the basic parts that flowers can possess.)
