8.Simple ovary, the placentation is brink.The ovules are campylotropous.The ovule is bitegmic and crassinucellate.The megaspore archesporium is initiated from sub-epidermis of nucellus.
1.Only after pollination can the next process occur-fertilisation-when the pollen carried from another plant fertilises a female ovule to make new seeds.

4.In the latest study, the team used micro-CT technology to scan the fossil and found that the interior contained inverted ovules, which is a key feature for determining angiosperms.
5.There must sometimes be a physical impossibility in the male element reaching the ovule, as would be the case with a plant having a pistil too long for the pollen-tubes to reach the ovarium.
6.If so, the position of the ovules, even when one is erect and the other suspended within the same ovarium, would follow the selection of any slight deviations in position which favoured their fertilisation, and the production of seed.
7.In certain whole groups of plants the ovules stand erect, and in others they are suspended; and within the same ovarium of some few plants, one ovule holds the former and a second ovule the latter position.
