• flower morphology of daisy, rose, and santan(ixora coccinea)?

• Answer:

  The daisy or Leucanthemum genus is a group with single terminal composite flower on each stem. Florets are each a tiny flower, found in a compound flower head like a daisy. The flat, central yellow disc, made up of many florets, is surrounded with numerous, conspicuous, white rays/petals that help attract pollinators. http://zipcodezoo.com/Key/Plantae/Leucanthemum_Genus.asp http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Leucanthemum The wild rose has 5 petals or some multiple of 5 that attach around the middle of the ovary. They have usually have many, male stamen in a ring. The female pistils can be single or multiple depending on the species. Each female pistil leads to a carpel (receptacle) with usually 2 ovules in each. Once fertilized the ovary grows around the carpels into the fruit called a hip with two dry seeds per carpel. http://zipcodezoo.com/Plants/r/Rosa_multiflora/ Ixora cocinea has a globe shaped cluster of tubular flowers at the end of stems.
