Question

what are actinomorphic and zygomorphic flower

Answer 1

A flower capable of being divided into equal halves along any diameter is radially symmetrical and is called as actinomorphic flower.EX=Hibiscus is an actinomorphic flower because it is divided into 3 or more identical sections which are related to each other by rotation about the centre of the flower.

Zygomorphic flower := The flower is divided into two equal halves only by one vertical plane then it is called as zygomorphic flower EX= Pea ,bean,gulmohar etc

Answer 2

Actinomorphic Flowers -

Flowers that are radially symmetrical so that they are able to be bisected into similar halves in more than one vertical plane, forming mirror images.

This Romulea rosea (Iridaceae) flower can be bisected into similar halves in three different vertical planes.

Zygomorphic Flowers -

Flowers that are bilaterally symmetrical so that they are able to be bisected into similar halves in only one plane, forming mirror images.

This Gladiolus flower (Iridaceae) can be bisected into similar halves in only one vertical plane.
