Is family se direct NCERT-based questions pooche jaate hain — epicalyx, stellate hairs, mucilage canals, twisted aestivation, monadelphous stamens, monothecous anthers, axile placentation aur capsule fruit. 📌 Is video mein hum detail mein cover karenge: 🔹 Introduction to Malvaceae (NCERT) – Distribution & general characters – Why Malvaceae is called Mallow family – Importance of Malvaceae in human life 🔹 Vegetative Characters – Habit: Herbs, shrubs or trees – Root: Tap root system – Stem: Erect, branched, hairy – Presence of mucilage canals (NCERT point) – Stellate hairs (diagnostic feature) – Leaf: Alternate, simple, palmately lobed – Stipulate leaves – Reticulate venation 🔹 Inflorescence – Usually cymose – Sometimes solitary axillary (e.g., Hibiscus) 🔹 Flower Characters (Highly Exam Oriented 🌼) – Flowers bracteate and bracteolate – Epicalyx present (formed by bracteoles) – Complete, bisexual, actinomorphic – Pentamerous, hypogynous flower 🔹 Floral Whorls – Calyx: 5 sepals, gamosepalous, valvate aestivation – Corolla: 5 petals, polypetalous, twisted aestivation – Androecium: Numerous stamens – Monadelphous stamens forming staminal tube – Monothecous anthers (very important NEET point) – Gynoecium: Pentacarpellary, syncarpous – Ovary superior, pentalocular – Axile placentation – Style passing through staminal tube 🔹 Floral Formula & Floral Diagram – Pure NCERT-based explanation – Diagram interpretation for NEET & Board exams 🔹 Fruit & Seed – Fruit usually a capsule – Seeds endospermic – Cotton fibres derived from seed hairs 🔹 Pollination – Mostly entomophilous (insect pollination) 🔹 Economic Importance of Malvaceae – Cotton (Gossypium) → Textile fibre – Bhindi (Abelmoschus) → Vegetable – Hibiscus → Ornamental plant – Medicinal importance of Sida 🔹 Important NCERT Exam Points – Epicalyx – Stellate hairs – Mucilage canals – Twisted aestivation – Monadelphous androecium – Monothecous anthers – Axile placentation – Capsule fruit – NEET + Board frequently asked facts – One-shot revision highlights 📘 Handwritten-Notes Style | Simple Explanation | Pure NCERT Language Ye lecture specially design kiya gaya hai taaki aap NCERT terminology ke saath conceptually strong ho jao — bina confusion aur bina ratta maare 💯 👍 Like | 🔁 Share | 🔔 Subscribe for more Class 11 Biology – Morphology of Flowering Plants lectures on 🌿 Science Quest with NKT
