- (a) - (i), (b) - (iii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (ii)
- (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iii), (d) - (iv)
- (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (iii)
- (a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (iii), (d) - (i)
Answer
(3) (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (iii)
Solution
As per NCERT (aestivation):
(a) Imbricate – margins of petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction, e.g. Cassia and gulmohur ⇒ (ii).
(b) Valvate – sepals or petals just touch one another at the margins without overlapping, e.g. Calotropis ⇒ (i).
(c) Vexillary (papilionaceous) – the large standard overlaps the two wings, which overlap the two keel petals, e.g. pea and bean ⇒ (iv).
(d) Twisted – one margin of each petal overlaps the next one, e.g. china rose, lady's finger and cotton ⇒ (iii).
∴ (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iv), (d) - (iii).
