Question

Give the taxonomic description of family fabacase with respect to calyx ,corolla androecium and gynoecium . Write its general floral formulla

Answer 1

Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world.

The calyx and corolla together form the perianth. The stamens, or male reproductive organs, lie within the corolla. The pistils, or female parts of the flower, make up the innermost whorl of parts. The Calyx is usually made up of small, green, leaflike sepals.

floral formula

Floral formula A summary of the structure and components of a flower using symbols and numbers. The symbols representing symmetry include  (for actinomorphy) and , ↓, or ↑ (for zygomorphy). The parts of the flower are represented by K (for calyx), C (for corolla), P (for perianth), A (for androecium), and G (for gynoecium). These are followed by numbers indicating the number of parts in each whorl (e.g. K5 indicates a calyx of five sepals); ∞ indicates an indefinite number of parts (more than 12). If the parts are fused the number is in parentheses; if they are in separate groups or whorls the number is split (e.g. C2 + 2 indicates a corolla of two whorls each of two petals). The symbol G has a line above it to indicate an inferior ovary and a line beneath it to indicate a superior ovary. For example, the buttercup flower has the following floral formula:  K5 C5 A∞ G̱∞,  

i.e. it has a calyx of five sepals, a corolla of five petals, an androecium of many stamens, and a superior ovary consisting of many carpels.
