Answer 1

Axile placentation is observed in China rose, Petunia and Lemon.

Explanation:

The arrangement and attachment of ovules within a flower’s ovary is known as placentation. In flowering plants, there are five common forms of placentation. They are parietal, axile, superficial, basal, and marginal. Axile placentation occurs in a complex pistil when the ovules are positioned along the ovary’s central axis, and the carpels are folded inward. Plants like China roses, petunias, tomatoes, and lemons exhibit it.
