A former botanical classification for plants with separate petals, as opposed to fused petals.
From Greek 'chorizein' (to separate) and Latin 'petalum' (petal). This botanical term was used historically but is now largely obsolete due to modern phylogenetic classification systems.
Botanists used to organize all of plant life by whether petals were separate or fused, but it turns out evolution didn't follow this pattern—some unrelated plants just happened to have similar petal arrangements!
