Name the type of flowers produced by Viola (Pansy). How do they differ from each other.​

Dear Student

Two types of flowers are produced by Viola. They are:

• Chasmogamous flowers 
• Cleistogamous flowers

The differences between the two are:

• Chasmogamous flowers have exposed anthers and stigma whereas Cleistogamous flowers are closed and the anthers and stigma are close to each other and never exposed to the environment.
• Chasmogamous flowers can undergo both cross and self pollination whereas cleistogamous flowers can only undergo self-pollination.
• Pollinating agency is required in chasmogamous flowers whereas no external pollinationg agency is required in cleistogamous flowers
• The flowers are prominent in chasmogamous flowers whereas they are indistinguishable in cleistogamous flowers.

Hope it helps.
