Question

Which of the family possess perianth of six coloured tepaIs?

• A. Mimosoideae
• B. Solanaceae
• C. Liliaceae
• D. Malvaceae

Answer 1

The correct option is C Liliaceae

Liliaceae flowers - Hermaphroditic, actinomorphic (radially symmetric) or slightly zygomorphic (bilaterally symmetric), pedicellate (on a short secondary stem), generally large and showy but may be inconspicuous (Medeoleae). Bracts may (bracteate) or may not (ebracteate) be present. The perianth is undifferentiated (perigonium) and biseriate (two whorled), formed from six tepals arranged into two separate whorls of three parts (trimerous) each, although Scoliopus has only three petals, free from the other parts, but overlapping. The tepals are usually petaloid (apotepalous) with lines (striate) or marks in other colors or shades. Malvaceae possess perianth of five coloured tepaIs. Solanaceae possess perianth of five coloured tepaIs joint together. possess perianth of six coloured tepaIs does not possess perianth of six coloured tepaIs.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
