Mace is the outer shell of the nutmeg, so it could resonably be called the
petals or leaf of nutmeg. You do have to peel or cut them off to get to the
nut.

Ouverture refers to "leaf of nutmeg" (fueille de muscade), which I
have interpreted as probably referring to mace. A modern recipe
from the Netherlands refers to "leaves of mace" (blaadjes foelie).
Elsewhere Casteau has "flower of nutmeg" (fleur de muscade) which
I believe definitely refers to mace.
