MCQ
Epipetalous and syngenesious stamens occur in:
  • A
    Solanaceae
  • B
    Brassicaceae
  • C
    Fabaceae
  • D
    Asteraceae

Answer

  1. Asteraceae

Explanation:

The calyx is highly modified as hairs, bristles or scales on the ovary known as pappus.

The corolla is sympetalous with mostly 3 - 5 lobes.

The androecium consists of 4 or 5 stamens that are united by their anthers and are adnate to the corolla tube or epigynous zone and alternate with the lobes.

The gynoecium consists of a single compound pistil of 2 carpels, a single 2 - cleft style, and an inferior ovary with one locule and one basal ovule.

During maturation of a flower, the style grows through the anther column.
