The correct answer is Pea

Explanation:

  • Flowers can be classified based on their symmetry into two main types: actinomorphic and zygomorphic flowers.
  • Actinomorphic flowers: These flowers are radially symmetrical, meaning they can be divided into equal halves along multiple planes. Examples include mustard, chilli, and datura.
  • Zygomorphic flowers: These flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, meaning they can only be divided into equal halves along one particular plane. Examples include pea, gulmohar, cassia and bean.
  • A flower is asymmetric (irregular) if it cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the centre, as in canna.
