| 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 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. |  |
