    The document describes 6 types of ovule positioning: (1) Orthotropous or Atropus: the micropyle, chalaza, and funicle are in a straight line, as seen in plants like betel and piper. (2) Anatropous: the ovule body is completely inverted so the micropyle and hilum are close together, seen in 82% of angiosperm families. (3) Hemianatropous: the ovule turns at a 90 degree angle on the funicle, as in ranunculus. (4) Campylotropous: the ovule is circled at a right angle to the funicle with

    (i) Orthotropous or Atropus : The micropyle, chalaza and funicle are in straight line.

    This is most
    primitive type of ovules. e.g., Betel, Piper, Polygonum.

    (ii) Anatropous : The body of the ovule is completely inverted (turn at 180 angle ) so that micropyle and
    hilum come to lie very close to each other. e.g., 82% of

    angiosperm families.

    (iii) Hemianatropous : Ovule turns at 90 angle upon the funicle or body of ovule is at right angle to the
    funicle e.g., Ranunculus.

    (iv) Campylotropous : Ovule is circled more or less at right angle to funicle. Micropylar end is bent down
    slightly. e.g., in members of Leguminosae and Cruciferae.

    (v) Amphitropous : Curvature of ovule is more and embryo sac becomes curved like horse shoe e.g.
    Lemna, Poppy, Alisma.

    (vi) Circinotropous : The ovule is initially orthotropous but becomes anatropous due to unilateral growth
    of funicle. The growth continues till the ovule once again

    becomes orthotropous. As a result funicle completely surrounds the body of the ovule e.g., Opuntia
    (prickly pear).
