Question

Persistent feathery style is a characteristic of

• A. Datura
• B. Brassica
• C. Clematis
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Clematis

Datura fruits have sticky glands on their surface. Such, fruits stick on animal's body and are dispersed by them. This is a type of forced zoochory.
Brassica seeds are dispersed through anemochory (wind dispersal) by censer mechanism. Censer mechanism is a type of anemochory where the seeds are dispersed from the small opening on the fruit. This opening is very small that only few seeds can escape at a time.
Clematis fruits show presence of persistent feathery styles which aid in wind dispersal.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
