Question: Shoe flower belongs to the family Solanaceae. a) True b) False...

Shoe flower belongs to the family Solanaceae.
a) True
b) False

Explanation

Solution

The flowers are nutritious, and the young leaves are also added to salads. Indigestion, constipation, nausea, ulcers and bladder infection are expected to be healed. As a shoe polish, the crushed flower is often used and is thus called 'shoe flowers'. As a hedge and ornamental plant, the plant is used widely.

Complete answer:
Hibiscus or Hibiscus rosa-sinensis , which belongs to the Malvaceae family, is the scientific name of a shoe vine. Since it has traditionally been used in Jamaica and some African countries to polish shoes, this is called a shoe flower. The petal juice is used as shoe black and mascara in China.
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a genus of tropical hibiscus, a flowering plant in the Hibisceae tribe of the Malvaceae family, which is colloquially known as Chinese hibiscus, China rose, Hawaiian hibiscus, rose mallow and shoeblackplant. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, but in the wild it is not known, so its native distribution is uncertain. It is likely to originate in a certain region of tropical Asia. It is widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics as an ornamental plant.

Additional information:
Lycianthes, Cestrum, etc. Petunia, In general, to sum up, the flowers are full, pedicellate, bracteate or ebracteate, actinomorphic, bisexual, pentamerous and hypogynous of the Solanaceae family. Calyx has five sepals with valvate aestivation, which are joined or gamosepalous.
Liliaceae, primarily in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, are widely distributed and the flowers are pollinated by insects. Many Liliaceae are significant ornamental plants, which are commonly cultivated for their attractive flowers and are involved in the major floriculture of cut flowers and dry bulbs.
The flowers of Poaceae and Papilionaceae are zygomorphic as their symmetry remains intact as only one unique vertical plane passing through the middle cuts the flower into two separate halves. Flowers of the Solanaceae are actinomorphic.

So, the correct answer is option b) False, since it belongs to the family malvaceae.

Note:
Malvaceae, or mallows, is an approximate flowering plant family comprising 244 genera with 4225 species recognised. Well-known economically significant members include okra, cotton, cacao, and durian. Several genera, such as Alcea, Malva and Lavatera, as well as Tilia, also contain familiar ornamentals. In terms of number of species, the main genera include Hibiscus, Sterculia, Dombeya, Pavonia and Sida.
