Question

Enumerate the floral characters from the floral formula given below.

• A. Zygomorphic, bisexual, sepals four to five, petals four to five, inferior ovary, two fused carpels, stamens five, epipetalous
• B. Actinomorphic, bisexual, sepals four to five, petals four to five, inferior ovary, two fused carpels, stamens five, epipetalous
• C. Actinomorphic, bisexual, sepals four to 5, petals four to five, inferior ovary, two fused carpels, stamens five
• D. Actinomorphic, bisexual, sepals four to five, petals four to five, superior ovary, two fused carpels, stamens five, epiphyllous

Answer 1

The correct option is B Actinomorphic, bisexual, sepals four to five, petals four to five, inferior ovary, two fused carpels, stamens five, epipetalous

Circle with a cross and the bisexual symbol indicate an actinomorphic, bisexual flower (having both stamens and carpels). $K_{(4-5)}$ indicates a calyx with either 4 or 5 sepals (either tetramerous or pentamerous), $C_{(4-5)}$ indicates a corolla with either 4 or 5 petals (either tetramerous or pentamerous). A line from androecium to corolla indicates that the stamens are epipetalous. $G_{\left(2\right)}$ with a line above, indicates an inferior ovary with two fused carpels.
