Solution

The correct option is B Gloriosa
The polyphyllous petaloid perianth is found in Gloriosa
When non-essential whorls (sepals and petals) are not distinct, they are collectively called perianth. The individual members of perianth are known as tepals, e.g., Asphodelus, Onion. They may be sepaloid (greenish) orpetaloid (coloured other than green). The free and fused perianth are written as polyphyllous ( polytepalous) and gamophyllous (gamotapelous) respectively
So, the correct answer is 'Gloriosa'
