  • polysepalous

  • gamosepalous

  • polypetalous

  • gamopetalous

Solution

A.

polysepalous

In floral formula, (K) denotes polysepalous condition. When the sepals of a flower are free from each other the condition is called polysepalous and if they are fused with each other, the condition is known as gamosepalous.
