The gynoecium is the female reproductive organ of flowering plants. It is composed of carpels which make up the pistil, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. The ovary contains ovules which have an embryo sac containing an egg cell. There are seven types of placentation, or patterns of how the placenta distributes ovules in the ovary, including marginal, axile, parietal, central, free-central, basal, and superficial. An ovule contains structures like the funicle, hilum, raphe, chalaza, nucellus, and integuments. The embryo sac develops an egg apparatus. Flowering plants also exhibit three

.Gyne (gynoe, female) or pistil, formed of carpels.
.Pistil composed of stigma, style & ovary. .Ovary contains ovules. An ovule has a large oval cell-embryo-sac. Gynoecium Placentation Manner of distribution of placenta in ovary. 7 types; Marginal: 1-chamber ovary, placenta develops along junction of 2 margins of carpel, eg pea, bean Axile: Ovary 2, many-chambered, placenta from central axis, eg China rose Parietal: Ovary 1-chambered, placenta from inner wall of ovary, eg Papaya. Central: Septa of ovary disappear, placenta from central axis, eg Gima-sak, Free-central: placenta lies free on a central swollen axis, eg Primrose Basal: Placenta develop on thalamus, bear a single ovule, eg Marigold. Superficial: Ovary multilocular, placenta dev from inner surface of partition walls, eg Water lily Placentation Ovule 1. Funicle: The stalk 2. Hilum: Point of attachment 3. Raphe: Ridge-form beyond hilum 4. Chalaza: Junction of integument & nucellus 5. Nucellus: Main body 6. Integuments: 2 coats Ovule 7. Micropyle: Small opening at apex of integuments Ebryo-sac: Definitive nucleus middle Egg-apparatus with egg-cell & 2 synergids towards micropyle, 3 anti- podal cells, after fertilization, definitive nucleus becoms endosperm Ovule Position of Floral leaves on thalamus 1. Hypogyny: Ovary occupies highest position on thalamus, ovary superior, eg China rose 2. Epigyny: Thalamus encloses ovary; ovary inferior eg Apple 3. Perigyny: Thalamus cup-shaped, ovary inferior, eg Plum Sulisetijono 9 Cempaka (Michelia champaca) Sulisetijono 15 srikaya
