Ovule and female gametophyte in representatives of Nymphaeasubgenus Hydrocallis and Victoria (Nymphaeaceae; Nymphaeoideae)

Nymphaeaceae occupies an important phylogenetic position because of their placement as one of the basal angiosperms. From this perspective, morphological studies in the family are of great value to under- standing plant phylogeny and evolution. Ovule development and female gametophyte in Nymphaea am...
