Abstract
InCrotalaria burhia Buch-Ham.,C medicaginea Lamk.Tephrosia hamiltonii Drumm. andT. apollinea Link studied here, the floral organs develop in an acropetal sequence and are not congenitally fused. Calyx and staminal tubes are formed due to zonal intercalary growth at their bases. Floral anatomy conforms to dihiate series inCrotalaria species with two sets of gaps and to unihiate series with single set of gaps inTephrosia species. InTephrosia species there is a glandular disc present on the inner side at the base of stamens which is vascularized by the staminal traces. InCrotalaria species, no prominent disc is present but some densely cytoplasmic cells lining the receptacular cup are clearly discernible which are nonvascularized. Mucilage cells have been observed in the floral parts inTephrosia species. The mucilaginous cells are multinucleate, formed by the dissolution of cell walls of the surrounding cells.
