APulvinus
BReceptacle
CBract
DPERIANTH — when calyx and corolla are not distinct, the term perianth is used (e.g. lily). Each individual member is called tepal
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. PERIANTH — when calyx and corolla are not distinct, the term perianth is used (e.g. lily). Each individual member is called tepal
Perianth = combined calyx + corolla when they are indistinguishable (common in monocots like lily, tulip). The individual members are called tepals. Pulvinus is a swollen leaf base; receptacle is the thalamus; bract is a reduced leaf at pedicel base.
