The correct answer is: It has a zygomorphic flower and imbricate aestivation of petals
The flower of Cassia can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane. Hence, it is a zygomorphic flower. The margins of petals of Cassia overlap one another but not in any particular direction. Hence, it shows imbricate aestivation.
