Morphology Of Flowering Plants

Which of the following flowers is asymmetric (irregular) and cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the centre?
A flower is asymmetric (irregular) if it cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the centre, as in canna.
Question 60 of 300
📘 CLASS XI

Morphology Of Flowering Plants

A flower is described as hypogynous when the gynoecium occupies the highest position on the thalamus, and its ovary is said to be:
In the hypogynous flower the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other parts are situated below it. The ovary in such flowers is said to be superior.
