Flowers have many botanical names that are dependent usually on the family. Leaves are generally referred to as megaphylls or microphylls.

Sometimes, you have a "flower" that is actually made up of lots of little flowers (for example, a sunflower), this is called an inflorescence. The parts of a flower are broken down into individual names as well. The petals, all together, are called the corolla, and the little green (not always) bracts that come before the petals are called sepals, and all together they are the calyx. (Note: not all flowers have petals, sepals, or either!) The calyx and the corolla together are called the perianth. The male reproductive structures are called stamens, and the female structures are called the pistils or carpels.

A leaf is generally called a phyllopodium. A flower's scientific name depends on which plant it is borne on.
