Solution:
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, e.g., mustard, china rose and brinjal. If gynoecium is situated in the centre and other parts of the flower are located on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level, it is called perigynous. The ovary here is said to be half inferior, e.g., plum rose, peach. In both the flowers depicted in the diagram, the floral whorls are inserted on the rim of the thalamus. Hence, they are perigynous.
