Describe briefly the vegetative and floral character of the family Liliaceace
Answers
Answer:
Liliaceae or Lily family is a large and economically important family of monocotyledonous flowering plants. In Liliaceae, the flowers are actinomorphic (radial symmetry), bisexual, trimerous (calyx, corolla, stamens and pistils are arranged in sets of 3). The stamens are 6, polyandrous (stamens are free), anthers dithecous. The ovary is tricarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary, trilocular or unilocular with two ovules, axile placentation (The carpels fuse to form septa forming a central axis and ovules are arranged on the axis).
So, the correct answer is 'Trimerous, actinomorphic, polyandrous, superior ovary, axile placentation'.
