Step-by-step solution
In China rose, the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other parts are situated below it. The flower is hypogynous and the ovary is superior. In peach, the gynoecium is situated in the centre and other parts of the flower are located on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level. The flower is perigynous and the ovary is half-inferior. In cucumber, the margin of the thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it. The flower is epigynous and the ovary is inferior.
