The perianth ofSaraca Indica

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

1. The vascular anatomy of three abnormal flowers ofSaraca indica with 5 perianth segments has been studied and compared with that of the normal ones with a 4-membered perianth.

2. The contention of the authors already published, that one of the 4 perianth segments of the normal flower is a double one is supported by the vascular anatomy of these teratological specimens.

3. The 2 “midrib bundles” received by the double segment of normal flowers supply adjacent separate members in the abnormal flowers.
