Question

• A. Epipetalous stamens in the former
• B. Capitulum inflorescence in the later
• C. Both of (A) and (B)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both of (A) and (B)

In Solanaceae the flowers have epipetalous stamens that is the stamens are attached to the petals with prominent anthers while in Compositeae we can see capitulum inflorescence. A flower head or capitulum is a very contracted raceme in which the single sessile flowers share are borne on an enlarged stem.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
