Q.1
Which one of the following is NOT the characteristic of ephimerales?
- Characteristics of Ephemerals: Ephemerals are drought-escaping desert annuals that germinate, grow, flower, and set seeds rapidly (within 4 to 6 weeks) following sporadic desert rainfall, surviving dry spells as dormant desiccation-tolerant seeds.
- Succulents vs Ephemerals: Accumulating large quantities of water in fleshy tissues and consuming it conservatively is the hallmark of succulents / drought-enduring xerophytes (Opuntia, Agave, cacti), NOT ephemerals.
- Conclusion: Option 4 is NOT a characteristic of ephemerals.
Correct option: (4) They accumulate large quantity of water and use it slowly during dry periods
