COMPLETUS FLOS, in Botany. A flower is said to be complete, which is provided with both the covers, viz. the calyx or flower-cup, and the petals. The term was invented by Vaillant, and is synonymous with calyculatus flos in Linnaeus. Berkenhout erroneously confounds it with the ovulus and calyculatus calyx of the same author.
