labellum
n.
large lip-like petal (Botany)
Labellum
The labellum (or Lip) is part of an
Orchid,
Canna or other less known flower that serves to attract
insects that
pollinate the flower, and acts as a landing platform for those insects.The labellum is a modified petal and can be distinguished from the other
petals and from the
sepals by its large size and its often irregular shape. It is not unusual for the other two petals of an orchid flower to look like the sepals, so that the labellum stands out as distinct.
