Aestivation in which members of a whorl be close but do not overlap is
Aestivation in which members of a whorl be close but do not overlap is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Valvate
Aestivation is the mode of arrangement of sepals and petals in floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl. In Vexillary aestivation there are five petals, the largest(standard) overlaps the two lateral petals(wings) which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals(keel).In Valvate aestivation sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin, without overlapping.In Imbricate aestivation margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction.In Twisted aestivation, one margin of the appendage overlap one another but not in any particular direction.Therefore, the option (B) is correct.
