  • The arrangement of ovules within the ovary is known as placentation.
  • The placentation is of different types namely, marginal, axile, parietal, basal, central and free central.
  • In marginal placentation the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture of the ovary and the ovules are borne on this ridge forming two rows. Example- pea
  • When the placenta is axial and the ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary, the placentaion is said to be axile. Example- china rose.
  • In parietal placentation, the ovules develop on the inner wall of the ovary or on peripheral part and ovary become twochambered due to the formation of the false septum. Example- mustard
  • In free central, the ovules are borne on central axis and septa are absent. Example- Dianthus
  • In basal placentation, the placenta develops at the base of ovary and a single ovule is attached to it. Example – sunflower.
