Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The diagram should show, from the outside inwards, the calyx (sepals), the corolla (petals), the androecium (stamens, each with anther and filament) and the gynoecium (carpel, with stigma, style and ovary), all borne on the thalamus.

The calyx and corolla are the accessory whorls; the androecium and gynoecium are the essential whorls.
