*self incompatibility
mature ovary
*fruits

*dry fruit

dispersed by animals
*fleshy fruit

pollen produces 2 sperm cells

fertilization occurs long after pollination, mature slowly

*gymnosperms

fertilization occurs soon after pollination, seeds produced rapidly

specialized in having perforation plates

*specialized conductive cells
