Answer 1

oxalis is the answer for this question

Answer 2

Explanation:

Commelina produces two types of flower chasmogamous flowers which are similar to the flower of other species with exposed anthers and stigma, and cleistogamous flowers which do not open at all. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. When anthers dehisce in the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination. Thus, cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous as there is no chance of cross-pollen landing on the stigma. Cleistogamous flowers assure seed-setting even in the absence of pollinators.

So, the correct answer is 'Commelina'
