Options

  1. Aactinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation
  2. Bactinomorphic, epigynous with valvate aestivation
  3. Czygomorphic, hypogynous with imbricate aestivation
  4. Dzygomorphic, epigynous with twisted aestivation

Correct answer

A. actinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation
