Mark the incorrect match w.r.t. Inflorescence

Options

A. Allium cepa - Umbellate clusters
B. Solanum  - Racemose
C. Groundnut - Racemose
D. China rose  - Solitary

Answer

To solve the question of identifying the incorrect match with respect to inflorescence, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the First Option: Allium sepa (Onion)**
- Allium sepa, commonly known as onion, exhibits a **umbel type of inflorescence**.
- In umbel inflorescence, the flowers arise from a common point and the main axis is reduced.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correct.

2. **Identify the Second Option: Solanum**
- Solanum is said to have a **racemose type of inflorescence** in the question.
- However, Solanum typically exhibits a **cymose type of inflorescence**, where the main axis terminates in a flower, leading to limited growth.
- **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect.

3. **Identify the Third Option: Groundnut**
- Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is known to have a **racemose type of inflorescence**.
- In racemose inflorescence, the flowers are arranged along a continuous stem, and the younger flowers are at the tip while older ones are at the base (acropetal arrangement).
- **Conclusion**: This option is correct.

4. **Identify the Fourth Option: China Rose (Hibiscus)**
- China rose, or Hibiscus, exhibits a **solitary inflorescence**, meaning one flower is present at each axis.
- This is a characteristic feature of solitary inflorescence.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correct.

### Final Answer:
The incorrect match with respect to inflorescence is the **second option: Solanum**, which is incorrectly stated to have a racemose type of inflorescence instead of cymose.
