Step-by-step solution
The floral formulas can be identified by their characteristic features: (A) % K _ (5) C _ 1+2+(2) A _ (9)+1 G ₁ represents Fabaceae, indicated by the zygomorphic symmetry ( % ) and diadelphous stamens ( A _ (9)+1 ). (B) K _ (5) C _ (5) A ₅ G _ (2) represents Solanaceae, indicated by the epipetalous condition ( C _ (5) A ₅ ) and bicarpellary syncarpous superior ovary. (C) Br P _ (3+3) A _ 3+3 G _ (3) represents Liliaceae, indicated by the presence of a perianth ( P ) and epitepalous stamens. (D) K _ 2+2 C ₄ A _ 2+4
