Question

Add the missing floral organs of the given floral formula of Fabaceae. $\varphi$ ♀ $\to$ $K_{\left(5\right)}$ $A_{(g+1)}$ ${\underset{–}{G}}_1$

Answer 1

Zygomorphic:

The flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, represented by $\%$.

Bisexual:

The flowers are bisexual, represented by ⚥.

Calyx:

Sepals are five in numbers and gamosepalous (fused together), therefore represented by $K_{\left(5\right)}$

Corolla:

Petals are five in numbers, polypetalous, consisting of one posterior standard, two lateral wings, two anterior ones forming a keel. Therefore, it is represented by $C_{1+2+\left(2\right)}.$

Androecium:

Stamens are ten in number in diadelphous condition, hence, represented by $A_{\left(9\right)+1}.$

Gynoecium:

Ovary is positioned superiorly and is one in number so ${\underset{–}{G}}_1.$

Final answer:

$\%$ ⚥ $K_{\left(5\right)}$ $C_{1+2+\left(2\right)}{A}_{(9+1)}{\underset{–}{G}}_1$
