1. Trimerous:- In each whorl floral parts are three or in multiples of three.
example: AlliumALLIUM

2. Tetramerous:- In each whorl the floral parts are four or in the multiples of four.
example: BrassicaBRASSICA

3. Pentamerous:- In each whorl the floral parts are five or in the multiples of five.
