• Corolla (Petals) - It is the colourful part of flower which helps to attract pollinating agents.

• Androecium (Stamen) - It is the male reproductive part. The stamen included the filament and the anther. The filament is the long slender stalk attached to petal/thalamus. The anther is the terminal bilobed structure.

• Gynoecium (Pistil) - It is the female reproductive part. The pistil included the stigma,the style and the ovary. The stigma is the landing platform for pollen grains. The style is the elongated slender part which connects the stigma and the ovary. The ovary is the basal bulged part.
