  4. Castor
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Venation is the arrangement of veins on the leaves. It is basically of 2 types, reticulate and parallel. Reticulate venation involves irregular distribution of veins to form a network. Parallel venation involves the veins running parallel to each other. In pinnate or unicostate venation, the lamina has a single principal vein or midrib. It produces lateral veins. In palmate or multicostate venation, lamina has more than one principal vein. In Canna, the venation is pinnately parallel. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Canna.'

In common weed Parthenium the leaf is compound

  1. Multifoliate

  2. Tripinnate

  3. Decompound

  4. Bipinnate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Compound leaves are of two types, namely pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. In palmately compound leaf, the leaflets are arranged at the tip of the petiole. It is further divided into 5 types depending upon the number of leaflets present at the tip of the petiole.

In unifoliate, there is only one terminal leaflet is attached at the top of petiole. Example includes citrus.

In bifoliate, two leaflets are attached side by side at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Balanites roxburghii.

In trifoliate, three terminal leaflets are attached at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Aegle marmelos.

In quadrifoliate, four leaflets are attached to the tip of petiole. Example includes Paris quadrifolia.

In multifoliate, five or more leaflets are present at the tip of petiole in the form of fingers of the palm. Example includes Parthenium (common weed).

Thus, the correct answer is 'Multifoliate.'
