Explanation

Monocarpellary ovary means having single carpel. Diadelphous androecium means stamens are united in two bundles and marginal placentation means that there is only one elongated placenta on one side of the ovary, as ovules are attached at the fusion line. This is the characteristic of family papillionaceae.
