This document contains a student's assignment on identifying the morphology of three different flower types: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Bougainvillea, and Allamanda cathartica. The student describes the floral parts of each flower, including the stigma, style, anther, filament, ovary, petals, and perianth. They determine that Hibiscus is a complete and perfect flower, Bougainvillea is perfect but incomplete, and Allamanda is incomplete. The student concludes by identifying the inflorescence type of each flower and discussing their potential modes of pollination.

Comment : Date : 20.10.2020 Title : Observation and Identification of Flower Morphology -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Introduction Flower morphology consists of a large number of parameters, including the number and shape of petals, number of stamens, petal size and the number and arrangement of styles and ovaries. There are many different types of flowers, however they all have four basic parts which is the petals, the sepals, the carpel and the stamen. The main parts of a flower that are important for its function are its male and female parts, the carpel and the stamen. Stigma The part of the pistil where pollen germinates. Sepal The outer parts of the flower that enclose a developing bud. Petal The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored. Stamen The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther. Anther The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. Ovary The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.
2. Objectives 1. To identify the different parts of a flower and understand their function. 2. To describe the inflorescence type of flower 3. To discuss mode of pollination in a particular plant
3. Materials and Methods
Material Plant inflorescence or flower - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis - Bougainvillea - Allamanda cathartica Methods 1. Three different types of flowers have been prepared. 2. The knife and the cutting board were cleaned before use. 3. One flower was gently placed on the cutting board. 4. The flower was cut into half by knife. 5. All sexual parts of the flower are being identified and recorded 6. Step 2 to 5 on other type of flower is repeated. 4. Observation Flower 1 – Bunga Raya, Hibiscus

5. Discussion Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Hibiscus can be concluded as complete flower and also perfect flower as it have female and male reproductive part.
Bougainvillea
For bougainvillea it is a perfect flower but an incomplete flower.
Allamanda cathartica
For Allamanda cathartica it is an incomplete flower as it lack petal.
6. Conclusion
As a conclusion, the different type of flowers has been chosen to identify their morphology and the inflorescence type. Each flower has been identified their part such as sepal, petal, stamen and pistil. The male and female reproduction of the flower has been recorded. Their mode of pollination also is very crucial for us to study for future breeding program.
7. Question and Answer
1. Based on your observation, describe the inflorescence type of each flower.
- Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a monochasial cymes. - Bougainville is a dichasial cymes. - Allamanda cathartica is a dichasial cymes. 2. Decide the mode of pollination that may be occur and give the reasons. - The mode of pollination that occur are by cross pollination or self-pollination. -Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. It is occur in flower where the stamen and carpel mature at the same time and are positioned so that the pollen can land on the flower stigma. -Cross pollination occurs when pollen is delivered from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of flower on another plant. Cross pollination is always dependent on another agent to cause to transfer the pollen. There are several strategies that flowering plant utilize to move pollen from one flower to another plant including wind, water, animal, insect and bird.
