$(ii)$ The floral formula $\% K_{(5)} C_{1+2+(2)} A_{(9)+1} \underline{G}_{1}$ represents the family $Fabaceae$. It describes a zygomorphic,bisexual flower with five fused sepals,a papilionaceous corolla (one standard,two wings,two fused keels),diadelphous stamens $(9+1)$,and a superior,monocarpellary ovary.
$(iii)$ The floral formula $\oplus K_{5} C_{5} A_{5+5} \underline{G}_{(5)}$ represents the family $Liliaceae$ (specifically sub-family or related genera). It describes an actinomorphic,bisexual flower with five free sepals,five free petals,ten stamens arranged in two whorls,and a superior ovary with five fused carpels.
