Solution
The correct option is B
Smilax
Smilax
is a genus of flowering plants belonging to family Liliaceae. In most
of the plants belonging to family Liliaceae, the leaves are
exstipulate (stipules are inconspicuous or entirely absent) and the
venation is usually parallel (the veins present within the leaves are
parallel to each other). But in Smilax, the leaves are
stipulate i.e stipules are present. Stipules are outgrowths present
on either side of the base of a petiole. In smilax, the venation is
reticulate (veins are interconnected and forms web-like structure). So,
the correct answer is 'Smilax'.
