Locule A chamber, such as that of an ovary or fruit, that contains the ovule(s) or seed(s), respectively. 3-locular ovary of Cariniana estrellensis. Photo by C. Potascheff.
Locule orientation Locule orientation with the longest axis of a locule to the central axis of an ovary as seen in a medial longitudinal section. Locule orientation of neotropical Lecythidaceae. Photos by N. P. Smith.
Locule orientation horizontal A locule oriented with the greatest length more-or-less at right angles to the long axis of the ovary, i.e., at a right to the upper/lower septum as seen in longitudinal section. Placentation of Lecythis retusa. Photo by N. P. Smith.
Locule orientation oblique A locule with the greatest length more-or-less paralleling the long axis of the ovary, i.e., parallel to the upper/lower septum as seen in longituindal section. Locule obliquely oriented. Photo by N. P. Smith.
Locule orientation vertical A locule with the greatest length more-or-less paralleling the long axis of the ovary, i.e., parallel to the upper/lower septum as seen in longituindal section. Locule orientation vertical. Photo by N. P. Smith.
Locule width at apex The position at which the locule's greatest width is near the apex of the locule as viewed in a medial longitudinal section. Placentation of Gustavia poeppigiana. Photo by C. Carollo..
Locule width at middle The position at which the locule's greatest width is in the middle of the locule as viewed in a medial longitudinal section. Placentation of Bertholletia excelsa. Photo by N. P. Smith.
Locule width throughout The position at which the locule's greatest width is equal through much of the locule as viewed in a medial longitudinal section. Placentation of Allantoma lineata. Photo by C. M. Potascheff
Locule with intermediate The position at which the locule's greatest width is between the middle and the apex. Placentation of Allantoma lineata. Photo by C. M. Potascheff
