Options

- DTomato
Correct answer
C. Cassia
Step-by-step solution
When a flower can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane, it is zygomorphic, e.g., pea, Gulmohar, bean, cassia. When a flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane passing through the center, it is said to be actinomorphic, e.g., mustard, datura, chili. A flower is asymmetric (irregular) if it cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the center, as in canna.
