Campylotropous

Description:

Campylotropous is an adjective that refers to a botanical term used to describe the position and orientation of an ovule. In campylotropous ovules, the ovule is bent along its main axis so that the micropyle (opening through which the pollen enters) is near the funiculus (stalk attaching the ovule to the ovary). This term is commonly used in the field of botany and plant biology.
