Vedclass · Answer

(A) The mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl is known as aestivation.- $A$ represents Vexillary aestivation,where the largest petal (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (wings),which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel).- $B$ represents Imbricate aestivation,where the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction.- $C$ represents Twisted aestivation,where one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one and so on in a regular pattern.- $D$ represents Valvate aestivation,where the sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin,without overlapping.Thus,the correct sequence is $A$-Vexillary,$B$-Imbricate,$C$-Twisted,$D$-Valvate.
