Cruciferae flowers - The structure of the flowers is extremely uniform throughout the family. They have four free saccate sepals and four clawed free petals, staggered. They can be dissymmetric or slightly zygomorphic, with a typical cross-like arrangement (hence the name Cruciferae). 

They have six stamens, four of which are longer and are arranged in a cross-like the petals and the other two are shorter (tetradynamous flower). The pistil is made up of two fused carpels and the style is very short, with two lobes. Superior ovary. The flowers form ebracteate racemose inflorescences, often apically corymb-like. Flowers that do not have bracts at the base of pedicel (stalk of flower) are called as ebracteate flowers. Flowers of Solanaceae, Malvaceae and Liliaceae are bracteate flowers.
