Question

Largest stigma occurs in

• A. Ricinus
• B. Populus
• C. Nelumbo
• D. Maize

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ricinus

Ricinus communis can vary greatly in its growth habit and appearance. The variability has been increased by breeders who have selected a range of cultivars for leaf and flower colours, and for oil production. The male flowers are numerous, yellowish-green with prominent creamy stamens; the female flowers, borne at the tips of the spikes, lie within the immature spiny capsules, are relatively few in number and have prominent red stigmas.

So the correct answer is 'Ricinus'.
