Which one of the following figures represents the placentation in Dianthus?

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

As per NCERT, when the ovules are borne on the central axis and septa are absent, the placentation is called free central, as in Dianthus and Primrose.

Figure (4) shows a unilocular ovary (no septa) with the ovules arising from a central column ⇒ free central placentation.

Figure (1) shows marginal placentation (pea pod) and figure (3) shows parietal placentation (ovules on the inner wall of the ovary).
