Select the wrong statement

Options

A. Persistent calyx is seen in Solanaceae
B. Flowers are hypogynous in Asteraceae
C. Santonin is obtained from Artemisia
D. In poaceae, perianth is represented by membranous scales called lodicules

Explanation

To solve the question "Select the wrong statement," we will analyze each statement provided in the video transcript step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Statement Analysis**:
- **Statement 1**: "Persistent Calyx is seen in Solanaceae."
- This statement is true. In the Solanaceae family, the sepals (which make up the calyx) are persistent and can be observed in the flowers.

2. **Statement 2**: "Flowers are hypogynous in Asteraceae."
- This statement is false. Asteraceae flowers are typically epigynous, meaning the ovary is situated below the other floral parts. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

3. **Statement 3**: "Centonine is obtained from Artemisia."
- This statement is true. Centonine is indeed derived from plants in the Artemisia genus.

4. **Statement 4**: "In Poaceae, variant is represented by membranous scale called lodicules."
- This statement is true. In the Poaceae family (grasses), lodicules are small, membranous scales that play a role in the flower's structure.

### Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the wrong statement is **Statement 2**: "Flowers are hypogynous in Asteraceae." Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Statement 2**.
