Twisted aestivation - Petals or sepals of a whorl have each one with one margin overlapped and another one is underlapped ex. Corolla of lady's finger, cotton, china-rose, Datura

Imbricate aestivation - Margins of sepals or petals of a whorl overlap one another but not in any particular direction. eg. Corolla of Cassia and gulmohur.

Vexillary aestivation - In the corolla, the largest posterior petal known as vexillum overlaps the two lateral wing petals or alae, the wings in return overlap the anterior fused petals known as keel petals or carina in a particular direction from posterior to anterior. eg.
