Solution:

A superior ovary is characteristic of hypogynous flowers, where the ovary is positioned above the other floral parts (sepals, petals, and stamens). The thalamus is either flat or dome-shaped, and the other floral parts arise below the ovary. Examples include Mustard, China rose, and Brinjal.

In contrast:

  • Plum and Peach are examples of perigynous flowers, where the ovary is half-inferior, and the thalamus forms a cup-like structure enclosing the ovary, with other floral parts arising from the rim of the thalamus.

  • Rose is also an example of a perigynous flower.
