Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a flower,the relative position of the gynoecium with respect to other floral parts (sepals,petals,and stamens) on the thalamus determines the type of flower.$1$. In $Hypogynous$ flowers,the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other parts are situated below it. The ovary in such flowers is said to be superior (e.g.,mustard,china rose,and brinjal).$2$. In $Perigynous$ flowers,the gynoecium is situated in the center and other parts of the flower are located on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level. The ovary is half-inferior (e.g.,plum,rose,and peach).$3$. In $Epigynous$ flowers,the margin of the thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it,while other parts of the flower arise above the ovary. The ovary is said to be inferior (e.g.,guava,cucumber,and the ray florets of sunflower).Therefore,a flower with a superior ovary and other parts situated below it is called $Hypogynous$.
