What is solitary flower? I am Just confused whether solitary means single flower in the whole plant or one flower on one branch of the plant?

Solitary flower means one flower at a specific position of a plant. It usually accompanies with another word either terminal or axillary.

Soliary terminal means a flower present at the apex of the main stem or its branches. e.g. Trillium grandiflorum.

Solitary axillary means a flower arising from the axil of a leaf. e.g. China rose.

**No. It doesn't mean that a plant has a single flower.It speaks all about the position of the flower.** Think of roses , they are solitary terminals and are in numbers in each plant, always growing at the apices of branches.
