Solution
The correct option is B Androecium
- Pistillate flower
refers to that imperfect or unisexual flower that does not have the
male reproductive organ called the stamen. The stamens are
collectively called the androecium. So, a pistillate flower will only
show the gynoecium (the female reproductive whorl) and not the
androecium.
- Similarly, a staminate flower will only show the
androecium (male reproductive whorl) and not the gynoecium.
- Calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) are present in both types of flowers.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Androecium'
