Explanation
Solution
Flowers that can only be divided into two halves from a single plane, meaning they are bilaterally symmetrical, are called zygomorphic flowers. This category includes plants such as pea, Gulmohar, Cassia, and beans.
On the other hand, flowers such as mustard, datura, and chilli are actinomorphic, which means they can be divided into two halves from any plane, or are radially symmetrical.
