I think it is probably a monocot; however, I am not at all good with plants.

anonymous · Answer

I was thinking monocot but monocots are within angiosperms (eg. seed plants) and angiosperms have a dominant sporophyte stage and flowering is part of the sporophyte stage....hence I have no idea what to put.  Although monocot would be the simplest answer.

If the picture in the book is an iris (like the picture you uploaded), it's division is monocot. Monocot is the simplest answer. I think it's an ambiguous question. Not that it is particularly helpful to you.

yes it is an iris :)   Campbell and Reece with their poorly vetted ambiguous questions. It really may drive me batty by the end of the semester.

I wish there was some way to do something about the questions, but there really isn't. When is the end of the semester for you?

Early May.
