Objective of the Study
The purpose of this study is to observe and describe three common flowering plants found locally, each from the families Solanaceae, Fabaceae, Liliaceae (in some regions, Poaceae, Asteraceae or Brassicaceae may be substituted). The study includes the dissection and presentation of floral whorls, anther and ovary to demonstrate the number of chambers, along with sketches.
