The placentation type present in lady's finger (Okra) is: Correct Answer Axile
Concept-
- A typical flower has four main parts - or whorls - known as the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium.
- The innermost group of structures in the flower is the gynoecium, or the female reproductive component(s).
- The innermost whorl is the whorl of the carpel and is called gynoecium.
- The carpel is the individual unit of the gynoecium and has a stigma, style, and ovary.
- The ovary is the enlarged basal part.
- The arrangement of ovules within the ovary is known as placentation.
- The placentation is of different types namely, marginal, axile, parietal, basal, central, and free central.
Additional Information
Free Central
- When the ovules are borne on a central axis and septa are absent, as in Dianthus and Primrose the placentation is called free central.
Parietal
- In parietal placentation, the ovules develop on the inner wall of the ovary or on the peripheral part.
- The ovary is one-chambered but it becomes two-chambered due to the formation of the false septum, e.g., mustard and Argemone
