epicalyx
An epicalyx is a group or cluster of bracts (modified or specialized leaves) that are positioned beneath or surrounding a flower's calyx (the protective outer floral leaves, usually green). These bracts often resemble and can be mistaken for the calyx itself. The epicalyx is present in many plant species but not all.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Epicalyx
ep-i-kā′liks, n. an external or accessory calyx outside of the true calyx, as in Potentilla.
