Read the following statements carefully: (A) In Calotropis, sepals or petals just touch one another at the margin, without overlapping. (B) In Lady's finger, one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one and so on. (C) In Gulmohur, the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another in a particular direction. (D) In Bean flowers, the two smallest anterior petals overlap the lateral petals. How many of the

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is correct. In Calotropis, the aestivation is valvate, where sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin, without overlapping. Statement (B) is correct. In Lady's finger, the aestivation is twisted, where one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one and so on. Statement (C) is incorrect. In Gulmohur, the aestivation is imbricate. The margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction. Statement (D) is incorrect. In Bean flowers, the ae
