The floral formula is used to describe graphically the morphology of flowering plants. A floral diagram is a representation of the different floral features of plants as they appear in cross section. Symbols are used to represent the different floral parts (CA for calyx, CO for corolla, A for androecium and G for gynoecium). Numbers of each flower part will follow the respective symbol. The number will be encircled if the parts are united or fused and is left open if otherwise. If the ovary is inferior, underline G, put a line above G if the ovary is superior. Floral formulas and diagrams have their value in taxonomic identification because they provide important information about the flower, the main basis of taxonomic identification as established by Linnaeus. determine the floral formula of the given flowers and Sketch the floral diagrams of each Gladiolus sp.
