Many flowers can often be identified by their parts—in particular, the number of sepals, petals, and stamens. For example, a stonecrop succulent plant has thirty sepals, thirty petals, and thirty or sixty stamens; buckwheat has three to six sepals, no petals, and six or nine stamens. But it’s not really that cut and dried—for example, a jewelweed has three or five unequal sepals, one forming a spur, and five petals, two united and three separate. And with so many species of plants—including trees identified by their seeds— it’s no wonder identifying plants is truly a major study!
