What are stamens attached to the other members of a flower?

Options

  1. AEpipetalous
  2. BEpiphyllous
  3. CMonadelphous
  4. DBoth A) and B)

Correct answer

D. Both A) and B)

Step-by-step solution

Stamens of flower may be united with other members such as petals or among themselves. When stamens are attached to the petals, they are epipetalous as in brinjal, or epiphyllous when attached to the perianth as in the flowers of lily. The stamens in a flower may either remain free (polyandrous) or may be united in varying degrees. The stamens may be united into one bunch or one bundle (monoadelphous) as in china rose, or two bundles (diadelphous) as in pea, or into more than two bundles (polyadelphous) as in citrus. There may be a variation in the length of filaments within a flower, as in Salvia and mustard.
