Answer:

Floral Variation

Flower types

When examining a flower you will see that the flower parts can be arranged in different ways. Cutting a flower in longitudinally often helps to see the position of the ovary relative to the other flower parts.

Flower types are based on the position of the ovary in a flower.

There are three categories: hypogynous, perigynous, and epigynous.

(a) hypogynous, if sepals, petals and stamens are attached to the receptacle below the ovary. The ovary in this case is said to be superior. Examples you may be familiar with include the flowers of tomato, tulip, and snapdragon.

(b) perigynous, if sepals, petals and stamens are fused at the base to form a cup-shaped structure called a hypanthium which is inserted beneath the ovary. The ovary in this case is still superior. You will see an example later in this section of the website (cherry, Prunus).

(c) epigynous, if sepals, petals and stamens arise from the top of the ovary, or from a hypanthium inserted above the ovary. The ovary of an epigynous flower is inferior. An example from lab was the daffodil. The daffodil has a hypanthium as well.

Placentation

Placentation refers to how the ovules are attached in the ovary. The cartoon below demonstrates the diversity of placentation types.

Placentation Types

We will examine two types of placentation. Parietal placentation is when the ovules are attached to the ovary wall, or to projections from the wall.

Axile placentation (right) is when the ovules are attached to a central column.

Floral Variation

The following pictures are to demonstrate some of the diversity in flower structure. You can apply the terms you have just learned. Variation does not only occur in the structure of individual flowers, but also their arrangement. Some flowers are solitary while others are clustered. The arrangement of flowers on a flower stalk is called the “inflorescence type”. There are many different finflorescence types which are beyond the scope of this course, but interesting none-the-less.

Tulipa (tulip) Flower, View from the Top

You can see in the photo to the right, the different flower parts. The ovary is superior. The flower is hypogynous.

The pistil of this flower has no style.

Mimulus (monkey face). The flower of this plant is bilaterally symmetric (= zygomorphic).

Mimulus – a zygomorphic flower

Antirrhinum (snapdragon) – another zygomorphic flower.

To the right is a longitudinal section through the snapdragon flower. It has a superior ovary (hypogynous flower).

The cross-section through its ovary reveals that it has axile placentation. The pistil is made up of two carpels. You can see the many ovules.

Answer:

a)HYPOGYNOUS-

, if sepals, petals and stamens are attached to the receptacle below the ovary. The ovary in this case is said to be superior. Examples you may be familiar with include the flowers of tomato, tulip, and snapdragon.

(b) PERIGYNOUS-

(c) EPIGYNOUS-

if sepals, petals and stamens arise from the top of the ovary, or from a hypanthium inserted above the ovary. The ovary of an epigynous flower is inferior. An example from lab was the daffodil. The daffodil has a hypanthium as well.
