The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the floral characters of the family Liliaceae, we will analyze the features of this family step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Family Liliaceae**: - Liliaceae is a large family of flowering plants, primarily monocotyledons. It includes many economically important species. 2. **Floral Symmetry**: - The flowers of Liliaceae are **actinomorphic**, meaning they exhibit radial symmetry. This means the flower can be divided into similar halves by multiple planes. 3. **Flower Structure**: - The flowers are **bisexual**, indicating that they contain both male (stamens) and female (pistils) reproductive parts. 4. **Arrangement of Floral Parts**: - The floral parts are arranged in **trimerous** condition. This means that the calyx, corolla, stamens, and pistils are typically in multiples of three. 5. **Stamen Characteristics**: - The number of stamens is usually **six**, and they are described as **polyandrous**, meaning the stamens are free and not fused together. 6. **Anther Structure**: - The anthers of the stamens are **dithecus**, meaning each anther has two lobes. 7. **Ovary Structure**: - The ovary is **tricarpillary** (composed of three carpels), **syncarpous** (the carpels are fused), and **superior** (the ovary is positioned above the attachment of other flower parts). 8. **Placentation**: - The placentation in Liliaceae is **axile**, meaning the ovules are attached to the central axis of the ovary. 9. **Evaluating Options**: - Based on the above features, we can evaluate the provided options: - **Option A**: Tetramerous, actinomorphic - Incorrect (should be trimerous). - **Option B**: Trimerous, actinomorphic, polyandrous, superior ovary, axile placentation - Correct. - **Option C**: 6 tepals, zygomorphic - Incorrect (should be actinomorphic). - **Option D**: Bisexual, zygomorphic - Incorrect (should be actinomorphic). 10. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option B**: Trimerous, actinomorphic, polyandrous, superior ovary, axile placentation.
