This refers to the four-petalled form, which is aberrant for a
monocot.
============================
I've just counted petals on the picture I took at the O'Byrne's
garden in Eugene, Oregon.
Eight.
I'd better look on the wiki and compare.
Four pairs is what I meant or, as another reply pointed out,
technically 4 petals and 4 tepals alternating.
