Morphology of Flowering Plants

Solution:

Figure (A) represents a hypogynous flower. In this, the sepals, petals and stamens are successively and separately inserted below the ovary in the flowers and the ovary is said to be superior.
Figure (B) and (C) shows a perigynous flower. In this, the sepals, petals and stamens are inserted at the same plane as the ovary and the ovary in such condition is half superior, subinferior or partially inferior ovary.
Figure (D) shows an epigynous flower. In this, the sepals, petals and stamens are successively and separately inserted above the ovary in the flower, the ovary in this situation is said to be inferior.
