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 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 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. |
