Oxalidaceae flowers are actinomorphic, hypogynous, and bisexual. The calyx What is calyx? A collective term for all the sepals of a flower; the lowermost whorl of floral organs (Plural form is calyces).imbricate What is imbricate? overlap or cause to overlap; in botany terms, scales, sepals, or plates having adjacent edges overlapping; with margins of structures overlapping like shingles on a roof.corolla What is corolla? A collective term referring to the petals of a flower.Oxalis are generally white or yellow.
Some species, however, are pink or violet. The flowers are in clusters of 3-16 on long slender stalks[7] . Wood sorrel’s pollination is via insects. However, their structural modification allows self-pollination. asexual reproduction
Cunoniaceae flowers are generally bisexual and actinomorphic. The sepals are usually 4-5. The petals in the corolla can sometimes be absent or mostly 4-5. Usually, the inflorescence is cymose. Sometimes, the flowers exist in racemes, panicles, or clustered heads. In rare instances, flowers are solitary. Potential pollinators are insects, birds bats geckos [8] .
The flowers of Connaraceae are small and regular. They are in the inflorescence of terminal or axillary panicles or racemes. All the flowers of the Connaraceae are bisexual. The perianth is made up of 2 dissimilar whorls. The calyx segments are fused and are composed of 5 imbricate or valvate What is valvate? Sepals having adjacent edges abutting rather than overlapping; opening by valves; edges of structures coming together so that the margins touch but won't overlap.
The only species of Cephalotaceae, the Albany pitcher-plant, has very small and fragrant flowers [9] The perianth of the flowers is composed of 6 white or green, valvate, cup-shaped sepaloid segments. The Cephalotus are self-fertile. The flowers lack petals, but the tepals attract insect pollinators.
