arrangement of the ovules in the placenta and of the placentas in the ovary

protective outer layer of seeds of flowering plants

nutritive tissue surrounding the embryo within seeds of flowering plants

cone-shaped mass of ovule- or spore-bearing scales or bracts

a small club-shaped structure typically bearing four basidiospores at the ends of minute projections; unique to basidiomycetes

the male sex organ of spore-producing plants; produces antherozoids; equivalent to the anther in flowers

organ containing or producing spores

saclike structure in which ascospores are formed through sexual reproduction of ascomycetes

a spore-bearing branch or organ: the part of the thallus of a sporophyte that develops spores; in ferns and mosses and liverworts is practically equivalent to the sporophyte

cell or organ in which gametes develop

gametangia and surrounding bracts

a modified branch bearing gametangia as in the thalloid liverworts

cluster of sporangia usually on underside of a fern frond

a spore-producing structure in certain lichens and fungi

the ripened reproductive body of a seed plant

edible reproductive body of a seed plant especially one having sweet flesh

a small usually single-celled asexual reproductive body produced by many nonflowering plants and fungi and some bacteria and protozoans and that are capable of developing into a new individual without sexual fusion

berrylike fruit of a plant of the genus Juniperus especially the berrylike cone of the common juniper

a diminutive flower (especially one that is part of a composite flower)

flower having no petals

the flowering part of a plant or arrangement of flowers on a stalk

small flower with a flat strap-shaped corolla usually occupying the peripheral rings of a composite flower

a completely inverted ovule turned back 180 degrees on its stalk

a curved ovule with the micropyle almost touching the funiculus

a completely straight ovule with the micropyle at the apex

where one or few ovules develop at the top of a simple or compound ovary

ovules are borne at or around the center of a compound ovary on an axis formed from joined septa

where one or few ovules develop at the base of a simple or compound ovary

where ovules develop on a central column in a compound ovary lacking septa or with septa at base only

with ovules on thin extensions of the placentae into a compound ovary

with ovules borne on the wall along the ventral suture of a simple ovary

where ovules develop on the wall or slight outgrowths of the wall forming broken partitions within a compound ovary

the seed-producing cone of a fir tree

the seed-producing cone of a cypress tree

a small hard fruit

a small fruit having any of various structures, e.g., simple (grape or blueberry) or aggregate (blackberry or raspberry)

fruit consisting of many individual small fruits or drupes derived from separate ovaries within a common receptacle: e.g. blackberry; raspberry; pineapple

fleshy indehiscent fruit with a single seed: e.g. almond; peach; plum; cherry; elderberry; olive; jujube
