Title: Complete flower. Drawing by B. Angell.
Description: Drawing of a complete flower, i.e., a flower with all of the floral whorls present, i.e., the calyx, corolla, stamens, and pistil. This flower has both stamens and a pistil and is, thus, bisexual or also called a perfect flower or a hermaphordite. This is also a heterochlamydeous flower, i.e., it has both a calyx and corolla.
