Ochreate stipules occur in:
a. Leguminosae
b. Polygonaceae
c. Acanthaceae
d. Malvaceae
Solution
The leafy appendages which normally present below the leaves are called as the Stipules. These are having different shapes, forms, and patterns in reality. The Ochre ate stipules are existing in the form of the tubular sheath from place to place the internode.
Complete answer:
The family Polygonaceae (also called Polygonaceae) shows the occurrence of Ochre ate stipules. The stipules are the name given to the lateral appendages present at the base of the leaf. A wide range of structural diversity is normally shown in these stipules.
When the two stipules are attached to form a tube-like structure, it is known as Ochre ate stipules. The main function of the stipules is to defend the leaf in the bud.
The plants commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family are categorized under the family of Fabaceae or Leguminosae. These plants which exist under the Leguminosae are a large and thriftily important family of flowering plants. It comprises the trees, shrubs, and perpetual or yearly herbaceous plants.
The class of Acanthaceae generally be made up of the terrestrial or aquatic herbs, shrubs, or infrequently trees. The shrubberies are conflicting (usually) and humble. The fluorescence is a cyme, raceme, or lonely flower.
The class of Malvaceae is said to be related to Sterculias and Liliaceous in having mucilaginous sap. These plants are having a simple alternate and stipulate leaves. According to the scientists Bentham and Hooker they differ from them in possessing monothecous another's and Monadelphous conditions.
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
Note: The flowers which come under the class of Polygonaceae are bisexual. However, some plants which come under the Triplaris and some species of Rumex are unisexual. Typically the flowers are said to be trimmerous but they are dimerous in Oxyria and Rumex.
