FLOWER
 Flower is one of the part of the plant.
 It is the Reproductive part.
 It is the beautiful and colourful part of the
flower.
FLOWER
The biological function of
a flower is to facilitate
reproduction, usually by
providing a mechanism
for the union of sperm
with eggs.
SMALLEST FLOWER
World’s smallest
flower is Wolffia
LARGEST FLOWER
World’s largest
flower is
Rafflesia
PARTS OF FLOWER
There are 4 parts in a flower. They are
Calyx
Corolla
Androecium
Gynoecium
CLASSIFICATION OF PARTS
There are 2 classification of flower parts. They are
oNon-essential part
• Calyx
• Corolla
oEssential part
• Androecium
• Gynoecium
PARTS OF FLOWER
PARTS OF FLOWER
CALYX
 Calyx is the outermost whorl
of the flower.
 The separate unit of calyx is
called sepal.
 It is almost green in colour.
 It is an non essential part of
the flower.
PETALOID
In some flowers the calyx
is brightly coloured, it is
known as petaloid.
TYPES OF CALYX
There are 2 types of calyx. They are
Polysepalous
Gamosepalous
POLYSEPALOUS
In some flowers the petals
are free, such type is called
polysepalous.
Eg. Rose
GAMOSEPALOUS
In some flowers the sepals
are fused, such type is
called gamosepalous.
Eg. Datura
COROLLA
It is the second whorl of the
flower.
It is an non-essential part.
The individual part of the
corolla is known as petals.
It is variously coloured.
TYPES OF FLOWER BASED ON PETALS
There are 3 types of flower based on the petals.
They are
oPolypetalous
oGamopetalous
oApetalous
POLYPETALOUS
When the petals are free,
such flowers are called as
polypetalous flower.
Eg. rose
GAMOPETALOUS
Flowers having fused or
united petals, such type
is called gamopetalous.
Eg. Hibiscus, Datura
APETALOUS
In some rare flowers the
petals are absent, such
flowers are called
apetalous.
Eg. Brassica rapa
ANDROECIUM
It is the third whorl of the flower.
It is the essential part of the flower.
The separate unit is known as
stamen.
It is the male reproductive part.
It has a powdery substance in it
called pollen grains, which is
responsible for the pollination of
flower.
PARTS OF ANDROECIUM
The stamen has 2 parts. They are
Anther – It is the head part of the stamen, in
which the powdery substance called pollen
grains are present which plays major role in
pollination of the flowers.
Filament – It is the stalk which holds the
anther.
GYNOECIUM
It is the innermost whorl of the
flower.
It is an essential part of the flower.
The separate unit is called carpel.
It is the female reproductive part.
After fertilization it develops into the
fruit.
PARTS OF GYNOECIUM
It has three parts namely,
Stigma – It is the top part of the carpel and it is sticky. The pollen
grains carried by the pollinators are stick in it.
Style – It is a tube in which the sperm cell enters and reaches the
ovary.
Ovary – It is the main part where the fertilization of sperm and eggs
are happened. The ovary produces the eggs for fertilization. The
ovary has an ovary wall and ovules. After fertilization the ovary
develops into fruit, the ovary wall develops into the outer coat of the
fruit and the ovules developed into the seeds.
TYPES OF FLOWER
FLOWER
INCOMPLETE
FLOWER
MALE FLOWER
FEMALE
FLOWER
COMPLETE
FLOWER
BISEXUAL
FLOWER
TYPES OF FLOWER
Based on the parts of the flowers, it can classified into two
types. They are
Complete flower – The complete flower has all the 4 whorls
in it (i.e.calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium are
present). Most of all the bisexual flowers are complete
flowers.
Incomplete flower – The incomplete flower does not have all
the 4 whorls i.e., any of the part is absent. All the unisexual
flowers are incomplete flower. The unisexual flower has
any one of the reproductive part (i.e., either androecium or
gynoecium is present)
COMPLETE FLOWER –
BISEXUAL FLOWER
In the bisexual flower
both the reproductive part is
present. i.e., androecium and
gynoecium present in the
same flower.
INCOMPLETE FLOWER –
UNISEXUAL FLOWER
Unisexual flowers are 2 types. They are,
Male flower – In male flower
androecium is present and
gynoecium is absent. Otherwise
known as staminate flower.
Female flower – In female flower
gynoecium is present and
androecium is absent. Otherwise
known as pistillate flower.
