Match List I with List II

List I (Types of Stamens)		List II (Example)
A.	Monoadelphous	I.	Citrus
B.	Diadelphous	II.	Pea
C.	Polyadelphous	III.	Lily
D.	Epiphyllous	IV.	China-rose

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.

To understand the matching, let us analyze the types of stamens based on their cohesion (fusion among themselves) and adhesion (fusion with other floral parts):

1. Monoadelphous (A - IV):
In monoadelphous stamens, the filaments of all the stamens are fused together to form a single bundle or tube around the pistil, while the anthers remain free.
Example: China-rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis).

2. Diadelphous (B - II):
In diadelphous stamens, the filaments are united into two separate bundles.
Example: Pea (Pisum sativum), where there are 10 stamens arranged in a (9) + 1 pattern (nine fused in one bundle and one free).

3. Polyadelphous (C - I):
In polyadelphous stamens, the filaments are grouped and fused into more than two distinct bundles.
Example: Citrus plants (like lemon and orange).

4. Epiphyllous (D - III):
When stamens are attached directly to the perianth (tepals) rather than the petals, they are described as epiphyllous.
Example: Lily (Liliaceae family).

Matching these definitions with the examples:
A. Monoadelphous → IV. China-rose
B. Diadelphous → II. Pea
C. Polyadelphous → I. Citrus
D. Epiphyllous → III. Lily
