Doubled sepals?

edit

The article says that doubling is due to multiple petals, but in such plants as double flowered tulips and narcissus with a showy perianth rather than just a showy corolla, it may well be due to double sepals as well. Imc (talk) 19:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Double-flowered is not a frequent topic of literature. WorldCat lists a few recent articles, but the above appears to be the first new book specific to the topic since 1983 (below):

Double / sterile flowers are gaining topical interest as a factor impacting pollinators.
