| Definition | The symmetry describing whether, and how, a flower, in particular its perianth, can be divided into two or more identical or mirror-image parts. |
| Comments | There are essentially two main types of symmetry in flowers: bilateral symmetry (also termed zygomorphic, dorsiventral, lateral or irregular) and radial symmetry (also termed actinomorphic or regular). Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as Phenotype and Ant Trait Ontology (PATO) |
| Examples | zygomorphic, http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001327 |
| Controlled vocabulary | Phenotype And Trait Ontology |
| Darwin Core Class | Occurrence |
| Cardinality | One to one |
| Reference Protocol |
Controlled vocabulary: zygomorphic; actinomorphic.
@fonturbel I think that Phenotype And Trait Ontolgy covers all the use cases.
Species trait as in #57 ?
Agree with the use of Phenotype And Trait Ontolgy as reference.
I have nothing to add.

If possible, I also suggest the use of http://www.ibiblio.org/botnet/glossary/ as reference. This glossary is based in Radford et al. (1976) and has illustrations.
It is important to consider asymmetric flowers here.

@Mardiore thank you for sharing this glossary. We can fully or partially adopt it. The controlled vocabulary is not part of the standard. So people can adopt any controlled vocab they like or even create their own vocab. But, internally REBIPP should define controlled vocabs. as a suggestion for people to use.
Controlled vocab defined.
