Question

In which family polyadelphous condition is present?
(a) Apocynaceae
(b) Rutaceae
(c) Euphorbiaceae
(d) Malvaceae​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (b) Rutaceae.

Explanation:

• The polyadelphous state shows stamen cohesiveness.
• In this state, the filaments of a flower's stamens join together to form various clusters or groups. The anthers are free while the filaments are joined in this instance.
• The majority of Rutaceae stamens are obdiplostemonous (10 in total), although Citrus has multiple stamens with the polyadelphous condition, Zanthoxylum has 3 stamens, and Skimmia has 5 stamens. The anthers are typically introrse, dithecous, basifixed, or flexible.
• Rutaceae:- An aromatic odor is present. The leaves are gland-dotted, simple or complex; the flower is hermaphrodite, hypogynous, actinomorphic, with a disc below the ovary; the corolla is polypetalous; the stamens are ten, obdiplostemonous; the carpels are five or numerous, and the fruit is a capsule or berry.
