Question

The simple cluster of radial leaves, stipulate and parallel venation leaves and cyme or umbel inflorescence are the characteristics of:
B. Poaceae
B. Liliaceae
C. Asteraceae
D. Fabaceae

Answer 1

Hint: Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are a broad category of terrestrial plants. They are categorised into families, like all other plants and animals, depending on leaf form, location and venation, inflorescence, number of anthers, stigma and style, and so on.

Complete step by step answer:
The lily family, often known as the 'Liliaceae,' has roughly 250 genera and over 4000 species of flowering plants. They may be found worldwide but are most common in the Northern Hemisphere. This family's plants are monocotyledonous (the seed has just one cotyledon) and perennial. They feature enormous, colourful blooms with six stamens and one superior ovary and are mostly pollinated by insects. The blooms can be placed in an inflorescence across the stalk, or they can be solitary or in clusters at the top of the stem. They have both female (gynoecium) and male characteristics (androecium). There are three fused carpels (syncarpous), one style, and one stigma (tri-lobed).
Cymose or umbellate inflorescences are possible. The first bloom in a cymose inflorescence grows from the top of the flower stem (growing region). Many little flowers (pedicles) grow together but are separated from a common point in an umbellate inflorescence. The sepals and petals are the same size and appear as two different whorls. The stamens are divided into two groups of three stamens apiece. In most cases, pollen has a single groove. It possesses contractile roots that aid in keeping the plant alive during dry seasons. These plants' leaves are linear, with parallel veins (parallel venation) to the margins. The leaves are solitary and alternately placed on the stalk. They can also be seen in bunches in a rosette at the base of the bloom.
As a result, option is the right response (B) .

Note: Lilies are an extremely diverse and important family of plants for many different reasons. They are the original high-order taxa to evolve from aquatic plants, and humans have used them for medicinal purposes in many different cultures. The lily family is not often brought up in discussions about ornamental plant families despite their significance.
