Floral appendages present in multiples of four are called

• A. Pentamerous
• B. Tetramerous
• C. Bracts
• D. Epigynous

Answer: (B)

Floral parts arranged in fours are described by the term tetramerous. When a flower’s whorl—whether petals, sepals, or other appendages—has four parts, or multiples of four, that pattern is tetramerous. This contrasts with pentamerous, which describes parts in fives, and with terms like bracts (leaf-like structures) or epigynous (relating to ovary position rather than part count). So, the description of parts in multiples of four corresponds to tetramerous.
