Verified by ExpertsA
When a flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane passing through the center, it is said to be actinomorphic, e.g., mustard, datura, chilli. When it can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane, it is zygomorphic, e.g., pea, gulmohur, bean, Cassia).
A flower is asymmetric (irregular) if it cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the center, as in canna.
