A

⊕ K(5) C(5) A5 G(2)

B

Br ⊕ P(3+3) A3+3 G(3)

C

⊕ K2+2 C4 A2+4 G(2)

D

% K(5) C1+2+(2) A(9)+1 G1

Step-by-Step Solution

, in the family Liliaceae (e.g., Lily), the calyx and corolla are not distinct and are termed as perianth (Source 75). This is represented by the symbol P. The floral formula for Liliaceae is characterised by being Bracteate (Br), Actinomorphic (⊕), Bisexual, having 6 tepals (P3+3P_{3+3}), 6 stamens (A3+3A_{3+3}), and a tricarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary (G(3)G_{(3)}). In contrast, the formula K(5)C(5)A5G(2)\oplus K_{(5)} C_{(5)} A_5 \underline{G}_{(2)} belongs to Solanaceae (Source 88), and K2+2C4A2+4G(2)\oplus K_{2+2} C_4 A_{2+4} \underline{G}_{(2)} belongs to Brassicaceae (Source 85).
