Description
Lily carpel. Light micrograph of a cross-section through a lily flower carpel (Lilium sp.), showing the three fused 'leaves' that make up the pistil. The edges of these curl inwards and bear the placentas, which in turn house the ovules (yellow ovals). Each ovule contains an ovum, or female sex cell (not seen). Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
