Question

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of ornithophilous flowers?

विकल्प

• Abundant and dilute nectar

• Bright colours visible from a distance

• Strong fragrance and heavy scent

• Tubular or cup-shaped form

Answer 1

Strong fragrance is NOT a characteristic feature of ornithophilous flowers. Instead, these flowers have reduced fragrance because birds primarily rely on vision rather than smell. All other options – bright colours, abundant dilute nectar, and tubular cup-shaped forms – are defining characteristics of bird-pollinated flowers.
