- Fertile axis bearing one terminal ovule and two opposite ovules. Cupules uniovulate and consisting of several free segments; cupule segments five per terminal ovule, elongate cuneate and extending about three-fifths of length of ovule; cupule segments per non-terminal ovule at least three. Ovules oval in shape, radially symmetrical with four integumentary lobes that are flattened and fused for one-half to two-thirds of total length of ovule. With exception of apex, nucellus adnate to fused part of integument. Nucellar apex well below tip of integumentary lobes.
