Answer: 1. (a) Perigynous; (b) Perigynous

Key idea: the position of the thalamus and the other whorls decides hypogynous, perigynous or epigynous.

In both figures the ovary sits in the centre of a cup-like thalamus whose rim carries the sepals, petals and stamens, level with the ovary rather than below or above it. This is the perigynous condition, as in rose. In hypogynous flowers the ovary is superior with whorls below it; in epigynous flowers the whorls are above an inferior ovary.
