In a typical flower thalamus consist
of boa compactly arranged nodes and
internodes
Answers
Answer:The thalamus is the short abbreviated axis bearing the four sets of floral leaves. It is the swollen end of the peduncle or pedicel with four nodes and very much compressed internodes. The floral leaves remain inserted on the nodes in whorls or spirally. The axis nature of the thalamus becomes quite evident in some flowers in which it (thalamus) is considerably long and the internodes are distinct.
The internode between the calyx and corolla is known as anthophore, that between corolla and androecium is androphore, and the one between androecium and gynoecium is gynophore. Androphore is distinct in passion-flower and gynophore in Pterospermum (B. Kanak champa). In Gynandropsis (B. Hurhure) both androphore and gynophore develop to form what is known as gynandrophore
