Question

In what respect papilionaceous is different from caryophyllaceous?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Papilionaceous flowers (from Latin: papilion, a butterfly) are flowers with the characteristic irregular and butterfly-like corolla found in many, though not all, plants of the species-rich Faboideae subfamily of legumes. Tournefort suggested that the term Flores papilionacei originated with Valerius Cordus,[1] who applied it to the flowers of the bean.[2]
