I think 8 tepaled would be most accurate way to describe this situation
since the is not express differentiation between the sepals and the petals,
but is this condition unusually for Ipheion? I mean to say I understand base
three or six is normal for monocots and Ipheion, but I have a variable
colony of Ipheion uniflorum which produces 8,10,& 12 tepaled flowers as well
as the typical 6, and I have wondered if this was unusual or not.
