Answer:
The largest and the outermost one is the standard or vexillum, two lateral petals are wings or alae, and the innermost two, called keel or carina, unite to form a boat-shaped body. Aestivation is vexillary. Androecium consists of ten stamens, nine united to form a bundle, one remaining free, diadelphous.
