Answers
Fabaceae
Family Fabaceae is large family including plants which are economically important. The family Fabaceae also was known as Leguminosae or Papilionaceae since it is the pea or legume family. It consists of around 5000 species of dicotyledons which are widely distributed all over the world.
Vegetative Characters
- Root: Dicotyledons with taproot with root nodules.
- Stem: Erect or climber; Fabaceae include shrubs, herbs, trees and majorly climbers.
- Leaves: Petiolate, pinnately compound or simple; pulvinus leaf base, stipulate; reticulate venation.
Floral Characters
fabaceae
- Inflorescence: Racemose.
- Flower: Complete, bisexual, zygomorphic, perigynous, bracteate/ ebracteate.
- Calyx: Five sepals, gamosepalous; imbricate aestivation.
- Corolla: Five petals, polypetalous, papilionaceous, vexillary aestivation.
- Androecium: Ten stamens (9+1), diadelphous, anther dithecous.
- Gynoecium: Superior ovary, monocarpellary, unilocular, marginal placentation, single, sort -style and flat, hairy-stigma.
- Fruit: Legume.
- Seed: One or more, non-endospermic.
Solanaceae
solanaceae is an economically important family which is also known as the potato family. Around 2000 species of dicotyledonous plants belong to this family. The vegetative and floral characters, floral formula and floral diagram of Solanaceae are discussed below.
Vegetative Characters
- Root: Taproot system.
- stem: Erect or climber; Solanaceae includes herbs, shrubs, small trees, and climbers.
- Leaves: Alternate, simple or pinnately compound (rarely); exstipulate; reticulate venation.
Floral characters
solanaceae
- Inflorescence: Racemose- terminal or axillary raceme; Cymose- solitary in Solanum.
- Flower: Complete, bisexual, actinomorphic, hypogynous.
- Calyx: Five sepals, gamosepalous; valvate aestivation.
- Corolla: Five petals, gamopetalous, valvate aestivation.
- Androecium: Five stamens, epipetalous; anthers basifixed.
- Gynoecium: Syncarpous, bicarpellary, bilocular, superior ovary, axile placentation.
- Fruit: Berry/ capsule.
- Seed: Numerous, endospermous.
The key difference between Fabaceae Solanaceae and Liliaceae is that Fabaceae is a family of flowering plants that produce a typical fruit called legume while Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants that bear five segmented flowers and produce toxic alkaloids, and Liliaceae is a family of monocotyledonous flowering.
