The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pulvinus**: - A pulvinus is a swollen leaf base found in some plants, particularly in the leguminous family (Fabaceae). It serves to facilitate movement in the leaves. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question provides several options. We need to determine which of these options does not have a pulvinus. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The first three options provided are Trifolium, Mimosoideae (Mindigofer), and Sesbania. - All these plants belong to the Fabaceae family, which is known for having pulvinous leaf bases. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - Since Trifolium, Mimosoideae, and Sesbania all belong to the Fabaceae family, they all exhibit the characteristic of having a pulvinus. Therefore, these options can be eliminated as they do have a pulvinus. 5. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - The last option is Gloriosa, which does not belong to the Fabaceae family. In fact, Gloriosa is known to lack a pulvinus. - Thus, the correct answer to the question is Gloriosa. ### Final Answer: The pulvinus leaf base is not found in Gloriosa.
