Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the $Bentham$ and $Hooker$ classification system,the class $Dicotyledonae$ is divided into three subclasses: $Polypetalae$,$Gamopetalae$,and $Monochlamydeae$.The subclass $Polypetalae$ is further divided into three series: $Thalamiflorae$,$Disciflorae$,and $Calyciflorae$.$Hibiscus$ $rosa-sinensis$ (family $Malvaceae$) is placed in the series $Thalamiflorae$ because it has a thalamus that is not cup-shaped (it is convex or conical) and the flowers are hypogynous with free petals.Statement $X$ is true,but Statement $Y$ is false because $Hibiscus$ does not have a cup-shaped thalamus (which is a characteristic of $Calyciflorae$) and its petals are free (polypetalous),not fused.
