A.	Monoadelphous	IV.	China-rose
B.	Diadelphous	II.	Pea
C.	Polyadelphous	I.	Citrus
D.	Epiphyllous	III.	Lily

1. The filaments of monoadelphous stamens, which are present in China roses, are merged into a single bundle.
2. The pea plant serves as an example of diadelphous stamens, which feature two bundles of fused filaments.
