(B) The arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl is known as aestivation.In $Twisted$ aestivation,one margin of the appendage (sepal or petal) overlaps that of the next one and so on (e.g.,China rose,lady's finger,and cotton).In $Valvate$ aestivation,the margins of sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin,without overlapping.In $Imbricate$ aestivation,the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction.In $Vexillary$ (or $Papilionaceous$) aestivation,the largest petal (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (wings),which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel).

When one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one,the condition is termed as.
