_____30. Male flowers and female flowers are found on the same plant.

PART C. You have run into the following flower in the field: It has 3 petals, 3 sepals, and 1 pistil which contains 3 locules, parallel-veined leaves, petals which are not attached to each other, and a corolla in which all of the petals are of equal size. There are no stamens on the flower. The sepals, and petals are all attached on top of the ovary. You are using a key to find out what it is and it asks you the following questions. Pick one of the choices by circling it.

31. Pteridophyta or Spermatophyta?

32. Non-vascular or Vascular?

33. Gymnosperm or Angiosperm?

34. Monocot or Dicot?

35. Complete or Incomplete?

36. Perfect or Imperfect?

37. Superior ovary or Inferior ovary?

38. Polypetalous or Sympetalous?

39. Regular (actinomorphic) or Irregular (zygomorphic)?

40. 1 carpel or 3 carpels?
