4. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)

Answer

(2) (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Solution

(a) Zygomorphic (%), bisexual flower; K(5), corolla C1+2+(2) (papilionaceous: vexillum, 2 wings, 2 fused keels), diadelphous stamens A(9)+1, monocarpellary superior ovary ⇒ Fabaceae (iii).

(b) Actinomorphic (⊕), bisexual; K(5), C(5), epipetalous stamens A5 (arc joining C and A), bicarpellary syncarpous superior ovary ⇒ Solanaceae (iv).

(c) Perianth P(3+3) (no separate calyx and corolla), epiphyllous stamens A3+3, tricarpellary superior ovary ⇒ Liliaceae (ii).

(d) K2+2, cruciform corolla C4, tetradynamous stamens A2+4, bicarpellary ovary ⇒ Brassicaceae (i).

∴ (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Answer: (2)
