RADIAL VERSUS BILATERAL SYMMETRY. “While flower symmetry is generally categorized as radially symmetrical or bilaterally symmetrical, there are clearly many variable traits that make each separate species unique. For example, a shift from radial to bilateral symmetry involving the petal whorl involves a transition from a single petal form within the flower to the individualization of petals within the whorl and the resulting possibility of having multiple petal forms.”
