orthotropous |
= atropous |
orientation |
ovule |
Having the (straight) ovule sessile or funiculate and divaricate, the micropyle facing away from the ovary wall (placenta). |
apotropous |
|
orientation |
ovule |
Anatropous but the whole recurved such that the raphe (adnate portion of the funiculus) faces the ovary wall (placenta) and the ovule is parallel to it, the micropyle facing the free basal portion of the funiculus. |
campylotropous |
|
orientation |
ovule |
Having the (reniform) ovule curved toward the ovary wall, the micropyle facing the wall, and the funiculus attached near the center of the concave side, the curvature and displacement of funicular insertion due to asymmetrical growth during ontogenesis. |

anatropous |
|
orientation |
ovule |
Having the funiculus distally recurved and the (straight) ovule lying beside and parallel to the proximal portion of the funiculus, to which it may be adnate or adherent, the micropyle facing the ovary wall (placenta). |
