The ovary is half inferior in flowers of

  1. peach
  2. cucumber
  3. cotton
  4. guava

Answer

(1) peach

Solution

As per NCERT, in perigynous flowers the gynoecium is situated in the centre and the other parts are on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level; the ovary is said to be half inferior, e.g. plum, rose, peach.

∵ Cucumber and guava have epigynous flowers (inferior ovary) and cotton has hypogynous flowers (superior ovary),

∴ peach.
