Gulmohar belongs to the family Leguminosae. It shows the papilionaceous type of the corolla that has unequal size of the petals. So, the flower cannot be divided into two equal halves in any plane. There is only one plane of division. Such flowers show the irregular symmetry and are called zygomorphic. When the floral parts are of the same size, their division is possible along any plane. Such flowers are regular flowers and are called actinomorphic.

Hint: Flowers are the colorful part of the plant which consists of the reproductive parts. The calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium are the most common parts of the plant. After the reproduction, the parts of the flower get converted into the fruit. Complete answer: On the basis of the separation of the floral parts, floral symmetry is classified. According to the symmetry, the flowers are classified into three types as actinomorphic flowers, zygomorphic flowers and the asymmetrical flowers. The flowers that can be divided into two equally separated mirror halves that are done on the same plane is called a zygomorphic flower. The examples of the zygomorphic flowers are orchids, the plants belong to the family Lamiales, the flowers belong to the family of fabaceae or the leguminosae. The plants like green pea, soybean, lentil, beans, chickpea, pigeon pea, mung bean, peanut etc. belong to the family fabaceae having zygomorphic symmetry. The cassia, snapdragon etc. also have this zygomorphic symmetry with the imbricate aestivation. These are bilaterally symmetrical in nature. Additional information: The actinomorphic flowers can be divided into two identical equal halves in the two or more planes. These are radially symmetrical in nature. The example for the actinomorphic flowers is lily, butter cup, ranunculus etc. The asymmetric flowers are the flowers that cannot be divided into any equal halves. The example for this asymmetry is valeriana officinalis, canna indica etc...

Known as the corpse flower (Rafflesia arnoldii), this giant weighs up to 15 pounds and can measure over 3 feet wide (Figure 1). This flower lives up to the corpse's name as it emits a rotten odor when it blooms. This rotten scent is emitted to charm a variety of pollinators. Interestingly, the petals of this parasitic plant are bright red in color and make up the structure known as the corolla. The corolla of a flower is the collective unit of petals and includes the reproductive organs. The function of the corolla flower is to aid in reproduction by attracting pollinators. Pollination is when pollen is transferred between flowers resulting in fertilization. What Is a Corolla? When you look at a flowering plant, what's the first thing you notice? Is it the stem, the leaves, or the flower? On most flowering plants, the most noticeable feature is the brightly-colored petals of the flower. The petals of flowers are often arranged in a circle around the center of the flower, and this collective unit of petals is referred to as the corolla. In addition to the...
