Detailed explanation-1: -The largest petal overlaps the two lateral petals called wings while the two anterior petals are the smallest ones. Due to this specific arrangement of petals in the corolla, the flower exhibits bilateral symmetry. Therefore, Gulmohar is an example of a zygomorphic flower.
Detailed explanation-2: -EXPLANATION: A flower, which can be divided into two equal parts by line passing through the middle of the flower, is called zygomorphic flower. Gulmohar, beans, pea, cassia are the examples of zygomorphic flowers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants such as pea, bean, cassia, and gulmohar belong to Fabaceae. Therefore, four plants show a zygomorphic flower. Zygomorphic flowers can be seen in orchids and plants belonging to the pea family. Zygomorphic flowers show better interaction with pollinators as compared to actinomorphic flowers.
