The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the arrangement of stamens in two whorls with an antipetalous outer whorl, we will analyze the provided options and definitions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - The term "antipetalous" refers to the arrangement of stamens that are positioned opposite to the petals of the flower. - The flower has two whorls of stamens: an outer whorl and an inner whorl. 2. **Identifying the Arrangement**: - In this case, the outer whorl of stamens is described as "antipetalous," meaning that these stamens are located directly opposite the petals. - The inner whorl of stamens will be positioned alternately with the petals. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Ophdiplostaminous**: This condition describes a situation where the outer whorl of stamens is opposite to the petals (antipetalous condition). - **Diplostaminous**: In this condition, the outer whorl of stamens is arranged alternately with the petals, not opposite. - **Didynamous**: This condition involves four stamens in one whorl, where two are longer and two are shorter, which does not fit our description. - **Epiphyllous**: This condition refers to stamens that arise from the leaves, which is not relevant to the arrangement described in the question. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and the arrangement described, the correct answer is **Ophdiplostaminous**. This is the condition where the stamens are arranged in two whorls, with the outer whorl being antipetalous. ### Final Answer: The condition is **Ophdiplostaminous**.
