Q. Uniparous, biparous and multiparous systems of branching are found respectively in
A) Mirabilis, Datura and vine
B) Saraca, Mirabilis and Euphorbia
C) Vine, Polyalthia and Saraca
D) Casuarina, Saraca and Croton
Explanation
Uniparous/Monochasial : At each point, only one lateral branch is produced. It may be scorpioid (e.g., Canna, Terminalia) Biparous : Two lateral branches develop at a time, e.g., Carissa, Datura, Mirabilis. Multiparous : More than two lateral branches develop below the modified terminal bud from the axils of whorled leaves, e.g., Nerium, Euphorbia.
