Question

What are the position of stamen in bougainvillea, sunflower, and hibiscus? Based on the text.

The stamens differ in terms of their insertion or attachment. They are epipetalous when inserted
on the corolla; hypogynous when inserted on the receptacle; perigynous when inserted on the calyx-
tube or a structure called the hypanthihum, an outgrowth from the base of the gynoecium axis giving
arise to stamens, petals and sepals; epigynous when apparently borne on the ovary. In gamopetalous
corollas, epipetalous stamens may be inserted on the tube or on the throat of the corolla and when the
stamens arch over so as to meet, they are said to be conniving or connivent. The term hypogynous,
perigynous and epigynous are also used to describe the insertion of petals and sepals.
