Plant's perianth part (5)

I believe the answer is:

sepal

(Other definitions for sepal that I've seen before include "flowery bit" , "Green part that forms a flower's calyx" , "Part of a flower - peals (anag)" , "Part of a flower casing" , "bit of a bloomer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
