Which of the following is dispersed by wind?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Calotropis
For easy dispersal by wind, seeds have to be light so that their buoyancy may enable them to float on air over long distances. Certain seeds and a few fruits are provided with appendages which act like parachutes in helping them to float in the air. Coma is a tuft of hair developed as a crown on the seeds of Calotropis, Holarrhena, Alstonia (two tufts).So the correct answer is 'Calotropis'.
