(ii) The corolla in pea flower shows vexillary aestivation

(iii) The stamens in citrus are in polyadelphous condition

(iv) In mustard, the type of placentation is axile

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (ii) and (iii)
• C. (iii) and (iv)
• D. (i) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

(ii) and (iii)

The corolla in pea flower shows vexillary aestivation. The stamens in citrus are in polyadelphous condition (anthers united to form three or more bundles). The flower with inferior ovary is said to be epigynous, the margin of thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it, the other parts of flower arise above the ovary. Mustradshows free central placentation, the ovules are borne on central axis and
septa are absent.
