Vedclass · Answer

(B) The term $Perianth$ refers to the non-reproductive part of the flower,consisting of the calyx and corolla. In some families,the calyx and corolla are not distinct and are collectively called the $Perianth$ (tepals). The family $Liliaceae$ is characterized by having a $Perianth$ consisting of $6$ tepals (arranged in two whorls of $3$ each),which are often fused at the base. Therefore,$Liliaceae$ is the correct answer.

Column-$I$ (Category)	Column-$II$ (Characteristics)
$(a)$ Bicarpellatae	$(p)$ Ovary is superior.
$(b)$ Inferae	$(q)$ Thalamus is cup-shaped.
$(c)$ Thalamiflorae	$(r)$ Thalamus is dome-shaped.
$(d)$ Calyciflorae	$(s)$ Gynoecium is always bicarpellary.
$(e)$ Heteromerae	$(t)$ Ovary is inferior.
