Reproductive Morphology
Flowers have been a universal cultural object for
millennia. They are an important aesthetic element in everyday life, and have
played a highly symbolic role in our culture throughout the ages. Exchange of
flowers marks respect, affection, happiness, and love. However, the biological purpose
of the flower is very different from the way we use and perceive. Flower helps
a plant to reproduce its own kind. This chapter discusses flowers, their
arrangement, fruits and seeds which are the reproductive units of a plant.

branch of Horticulture. It deals with the cultivation of flowers and ornamental
crops. The Government of India has identified floriculture as a sunrise
industry and accorded the status of 100% export oriented. Agriculture and
