| Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3 |
|---|---|---|
| (P) Liquorice | (i) Cinchona calisaya | (a) Leaf |
| (Q) Quinine | (ii) Lawsonia inermis | (b) Root |
| (R) Henna | (iii) Glycyrriza glabra | (c) Flower |
| (S) Saffron | (iv) Papaver somniferum | (d) Bark |
| (v) Crocus sativus | (e) Seed |
Answer: A
The correct match is P-iii-b, Q-i-d, R-ii-a, S-v-c.
- Liquorice comes from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra.
- Quinine is extracted from the bark of Cinchona species such as C. calisaya.
- Henna is the powdered leaf of Lawsonia inermis.
- Saffron is the dried stigmas of the flower of Crocus sativus.
Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) is the spare species. The option giving henna to seeds is wrong on the plant part, and the others assign liquorice or saffron to the wrong plant.
