On the basis of position, the flowers may be divided into three types- hypogynous, perigynous, and epigynous.
A. Hypogynous, if sepals, petals and stamens are attached to the receptacle below the ovary. Examples are tge flowers of tomato, tulip and snapdragon.
B.Perigynous, if sepals, petals and stamens are fused at the base to form a cup-shaped structure called a hypanthium which is inserted beneath the ovary. Example- cherry.
C.Epigynous, if sepals, petals and stamens arise from the top of the ovary, or from a hypanthium inserted above the ovary.Example- daffodils.
