The number of stamens of a flower is 3 or a multiple of 3 is called Trimerous. Flowers of monocots are trimerous. For example – rosin, rice, wheat etc.
Type of flowers according to stanzas number
(i) Trimerous: The number of stamens of a flower is 3 or a multiple of 3 is called Trimerous. Flowers of monocots are trimerous. For example – rosin, rice, wheat etc.
(ii) Tetramerous: The number of stamens of the flower is 4 or a multiple of 4 is called Tetramerous. Flowers of dicotyledonous plants are Tetramerous. For example, paint.
(iii) Pentamerous: The number of stamens of a flower is 5 or a multiple of 5 is called Pentamerous. Flowers of dicotyledonous plants are pentamerous. For example – Jawa.

Actinomorphic flower
A flower which divides along the axis to produce multiple equal parts is called a polysymmetric flower. For example – dhotura, jaba, brinjal, mustard etc.
Zygomorphic flower
A flower which can be divided into two equal parts once along the axis is called a symmetrical flower. For example- Beans, Buckwheat, Atsi, Beans, Aparajita etc.
Asymmetric flower
A flower which cannot be divided into two equal parts along the axis in any way is called asymmetric flower. Like- Kalabati, Orchid, Sarvajaya etc.
Flowers types according to symmetry
There are three types of flowers according to symmetry
(i) Asymmetric: A flower which cannot be divided into two equal parts along the axis in any way is called asymmetric flower. Like- Kalabati, Orchid, Sarvajaya etc.
(ii) Zygomorphic: A flower which can be divided into two equal parts once along the axis is called a symmetrical flower. For example- Beans, Buckwheat, Atsi, Beans, Aparajita etc.
