Question:
Identify the floral formula of the following characters.
Ebracteolate, United perianth, pentacarpellary syncarpous, zygomorphic, superior ovary, bisexual.
Identify the floral formula of the following characters.
Ebracteolate, United perianth, pentacarpellary syncarpous, zygomorphic, superior ovary, bisexual.
Ebracteolate, United perianth, pentacarpellary syncarpous, zygomorphic, superior ovary, bisexual.
Show Hint
Use floral formula symbols: $\oplus$ for actinomorphic, $%$ for zygomorphic, underline for inferior ovary, and $\male\female$ for bisexual.

- Ebrl, K(5) A̅(5) ⊕, ♀
- Ebrl, (P), G(5) %, ♂♀
- Ebrl, C(5), G(5) %, ♂♀
- Ebr, (K), G(3) ⊕, ♂

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The floral formula encodes floral characteristics using symbolic notation. Let's interpret each clue in the question:
- Ebracteolate (Ebrl): Indicates absence of bracts.
- United perianth (P): Instead of separate calyx and corolla, the perianth is undifferentiated and fused.
- Pentacarpellary syncarpous: Five fused carpels — written as G(5).
- Zygomorphic: Bilateral symmetry — represented by the symbol
%. - Superior ovary: Ovary is above the other floral parts — no underline under G.
- Bisexual: Flower has both male and female reproductive parts — denoted by ♂♀ (♂♀).
Among the options, only option (2) accurately includes all these features:
- Ebrl (no bract)
- (P) for united perianth
- G(5) for five fused carpels
%for zygomorphy- ♂♀ for bisexual flower
