Question

Which one of these floral formulae belongs to the family Liliaceae?

• A. Ebr $\oplus$ ♀ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$
• B. Br $\oplus$ ⚥ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$
• C. Ebr $\oplus$ ♂ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$
• D. Ebr $\oplus$ ⚥ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Br $\oplus$ ⚥ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$

Flowers of plants belonging to family liliaceae have bracts and are bisexual. The formula is Br $\oplus$ ⚥ $P_{3+3}$ $A_{3+3}$ $G_{\left(3\right)}$. If the floral formula signifies Ebr, it would mean that the flower does not belong to a plant from the family Liliaceae.
