Sympetaly

Sympetaly is the condition of some flowers in which the petals are fused together (sym- together). in some of these flowers, like with "Gentiana asclepiadea" are only partially fused at the base, but in other flowers, such as "Gentiana andrewsii", they are fully fused and never open. Flowers with sympately may be self-pollinated, while others may have small holes and be pollinated like regular plants.
