a.

Types of stamen based on number and connation

 There are two types of stamen the monadelphous and
diadelphous. Monadelphous are one group of stamens connate or
fused together by their filaments, while diadelphous stamens fused
together by the filaments so that they form two separate bundles,
or a bundle and a lone separate stamen.
b. Terms pertaining to attachment of anther to filament
 There are three terms pertaining to the attachment of anther to the
filament. First, basifixed where the base of the anther is attached to
the apex of the filament. Second, dorsifixed where the anther is
attached dorsally and medially to the apex of the filament. Third,
subbasifixed, where the anther attached near its base to the apex
of the filament.
c. Terms pertaining to anther dehiscence
 In extrorse dehiscence, pollen is released from through a split on the
outer side. In introrse dehiscence, pollen is released from the anther
through the inner side. In, latrorse dehiscence pollen is released
through a split on the sides facing other anthers.
d. Terms pertaining to point of insertion of floral parts.
 Hypogynous, the calyx, petals and stamens attached to the
receptacle at the base of the ovary. Perigynous, the petals and
stamens attached to the margin of a cup-shaped extension of the
receptacle. Epigynous the sepals, petals and stamens growing from
the top of the ovary.
e. Types of ovaries
 There two types of ovary, superior ovaries and inferior ovary.
Ovaries that form above the flower stalk, are called superior
ovaries, ovary thus rests on the receptacle, petals and female
reproductive structures. Ovaries that are within the receptacle,
which are at the top of the flower stalk, are called inferior ovaries.
f. Terms pertaining to ovule position inside carpel

g. Types of ovules
 There are six types of ovules, first, orthotropous ovule, where the
ovule is erect or straight. Second, anatropous ovule, where the
ovule is completely inverted, so much so, that the micropyle comes
very close to hilum. Third, campylotropous ovule, where the ovule is
so curved that the micropyle comes nearer to hilum. Fourth,
amphitropous ovule, where the ovule and the embryo sad is
 curved like a horseshoe. Fifth, circinotropous ovule, A very long
funicle almost completely encircles the ovule and the micropyle is
pointing up. Sixth, hemi-anatropous ovule, ovule is bent by 90° from
the funicle.
h. Types of Corolla
 Cruciform, four free petals are arranged in a cross.
Caryophyllaceous, five free petals with long claws, each petal
remain perpendicular to each other. Rosaceous, five or more
petals are spreading like a rose. Campanulate, bell-shaped
corolla. Tubular, gamopetalous corolla with their petals fused to
form a tube. Infundibuliform, gamopetalous corolla with their
petals in the form of a funnel. Hypocrateriform, gamopetalous,
salver – shaped corolla. Urceolate, urn or pitcher – shaped corolla
with the broad middle part. Rotate, wheel-shaped corolla with
narrow and short corolla tube, and the limbs of petals being at
right angle to the tube. Papilionaceous, five petals arranged to
resemble a butterfly. Ligulate, strap-shaped, zygomorphic,
gamopetalous corolla, with a short, narrow tube and strap-like, flat
upper portion. Bilabiate, petals are so fused together that they
appear to be divided into two separate lips. Masked or personate,
bilabiate corolla but here the mouth of the corolla is closed
because two lips are very close to each other.
