Ovario hipógino Se refiere a una flor en la que las partes florales están insertas hacia la base del ovario o en alguna estructura que está debajo del ovario; por ejemplo, las flores de Ranunculaceae. Equivalente a ovario superior. Comparar con epígino y perígino.
Ovario inferior Es un ovario en el que las partes florales (cáliz, corola y estambres) están insertas en su parte superior; por ejemplo, en las Rubiaceae y Asteraceae. Equivalente a epígino. Opuesto a ovario superior
Ovario perígino Se refiere a una flor en la que las partes florales están insertas en el borde de de un hipantio cupular que rodea al ovario
Ovario subsuperior Es un ovario en el que las partes florales (cáliz, corola y estambres) están insertas en o cerca de la mitad del ovario y parece ser mitad superior y/o mitad inferior
Ovario superior Es un ovario de una flor hipógina o perígina en el que las partes florales (cáliz, corola y estambres) están insertas abajo o alrededor del ovario; por ejemplo, en las Rubiaceae y Asteraceae. Opuesto a ovario inferior
Ovariodisc In the Burseraceae, a single, parenchymatous structure representing the ontogenetic fusion of the nectary disc and the pistillode.
Ovary The part of the gynoecium (=pistil) containing the ovules. Ovary
Ovary The part of the gynoecium containing the ovules. Ovary
Ovary cross-section A section through the ovary made at a right angle to the long or vertical axis of a flower. A term used in the Lecythidaceae to determine the number of locules and to describe the placention of species and genera. Ovary cross-section
Ovary half-inferior An ovary of Lecythidaceae that bulges upward at the summit making the ovary appear half-inferior in contrast to an inferior ovary which is truncate at the apex.. Ovary half-inferior
Ovary inferior An ovary in which the other floral parts (calyx, corolla, and stamens) arise from the summit of the ovary. Ovary inferior
Ovary summit The area at or above the inside of the staminal ring. Ovary summit
Ovary summit obconical If the summit of the ovary slants upward directly on the inside of the staminal ring (i.e., the summit completely fills the inside of the staminal ring) the summit is obconical. Obconical ovary summits can be narrowly or broadly obconical. Ovary summit obconical
Ovary summit plateau-like The apex of the ovary sits on a raised plateau characterized by erect sides. Ovary summit plateau-like
Ovary summit truncate Appearing to be cut off at the apex, i.e., disregarding the style the summit of the ovary is flat. Ovary summit truncate
Ovary summit umbonate If the summit of the ovary arches upward directly on the inside of the staminal ring (i.e., the summit completely fills the inside of the staminal ring) the summit is umbonate. See style umbonate. Ovary summit umbonate
Ovate Ovate refers to a leaf, sepal, petal, or other flat structure that is wider at the base than at the midpoint, tapers toward the apex, and has a length-to-width ratio of 1.5:1 to less than 2:1. Ovate
Ovoid Egg-shaped; the three-dimensional version of ovate. Ovoid
Ovule The organ that after fertilization becomes the seed. The ovule in angiosperms contains the embryo sac with an egg cell, several other cell types, and is enclosed within the locule of the ovary. Ovule
Ovule The organ that contains the egg and, after fertilization, becomes the seed. The ovules are included within locules of an ovary and are attached to the placenta in different ways that, in some cases, are generic specific. Ovule
Ovule anatropous Referring to a curved downward ovule in such a way that the micropyle is close to the funicular attachment. Ovule anatropous
Ovule bitegmic An ovule with two integuments. Ovule bitegmic
Ovule campylotropous Referring to an ovule in which the axis is at an approximately right angle to its stalk (funicle). Ovule campylotropous
Ovule columns The number of vertical lines of ovules from the base to the apex of the placenta. The number of horizontal layers of ovules in a locule. A longitudinal section that removes the outside wall of a locule allows this feature to be seen with the most accuracy. It can also be observed in a medial longitudinal section. A longitudinal section that removes the outside wall of a locule allows this feature to be seen with the most accuracy. It can also be observed in cross sections through the placenta. Ovule columns

Ovule insertion Referring to where ovules are inserted along the lower septum as viewed in longitudinal section. Ovule insertion
Ovule orientation The relationship between the direction that an ovule departs from the middle of the placenta in relation to the long axis of the ovary (equals the orientation of the lower/upper septum), as seen in a medial longitudinal section.
Ovule orientation horizontal Refers to an ovule that departs from the middle part of the placenta at a more-or-less 90 degree angle as seen in longitudinal section. Ovule orientation horizontal
Ovule orientation oblique An ovule that departs from the middle part of the placenta at an angle less than 90 degrees as seen in a longitudinal section. The angle is the upper angle of a line drawn through the ovules and intersecting with the vertical axis of the ovary as seen in longitudinal section. Ovule orientation oblique
Ovule orientation pendulous An ovule that departs from a poorly developed placenta that hangs downward at the apex of the locule as seen in a longitudinal section of the ovary. Ovule orientation pendulous
