Solution
The flowers that never open are called cleistogamous.
Explanation:
Cleistogamous flowers remain closed and are adapted for self-pollination. This means they do not depend on any external agents for transferring pollen to the stigma. However, since self-pollination is a form of inbreeding, it can lead to loss of vigor in the offspring.
