No. Peloria is when a plant with normally zygomorphic flowers produces
rotate actinomorphic flowers instead. There is no change in the number of
floral parts, just in their arrangement.

An example is the florist Gloxinias derived from Sinningia speciosa.

As in the case of fancy Rose and Carnation cultivars too?

They are commonly called "double flowered" but the number of petals may
be more than just double the original number.

I call them "cabbage flowered" or "cabbages on a stick".
