Ovary is half-inferior in the flowers of

  1. guava
  2. plum
  3. brinjal
  4. cucumber

Answer

(2) plum

Solution

As per NCERT, in perigynous flowers the gynoecium is situated in the centre and the other floral parts are on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level; the ovary is said to be half-inferior, e.g., plum, rose, peach.

∵ Guava and cucumber are epigynous (inferior ovary) and brinjal is hypogynous (superior ovary),

∴ the ovary is half-inferior in plum.
