Question

Identify the flower with polyadelphous condition.

The correct answer is

Citrus

Stamens of a flower may remain free (polyandrous) or be united by their filaments. Union into one bundle is monadelphous, into two bundles is diadelphous, and into more than two bundles is polyadelphous.

In citrus, the filaments of the numerous stamens are fused into several bundles, so the androecium is polyadelphous.

China rose has monadelphous stamens fused into a single staminal tube around the style. Pea has diadelphous stamens arranged as (9) + 1. Mustard has six free stamens in a tetradynamous arrangement (four long, two short), with no fusion into bundles.

Citrus option is correct.
