(be) Virtual cross sections, in an ascending order, of the ovary of a flower fully embedded (invisible, in the rectangle in a) in the specimen shown in (a). (f,g) Two virtual vertical sections of the flower shown in (b–e), showing an ovary with an ovary roof (triangles) and petals (p). (h) A detailed view of the rectangular region in (f), showing a funipendulous ovule (o) attached to the inner wall of the ovary that has a roof (triangles) and petals (p). To make it easy to observe, the figure is vertically stretched by 700%.
