Seeds anatropous, with a large fleshy rhaphe, and a minute embryo in fleshy albumen.

The superior ovary is generally one-chambered, with two variously developed parietal placentas, which occasionally meet, forming two chambers; the ovules are generally very numerous and anatropous or half-anatropous in form.

Fig. 348-352 show the stages through which an ovule becomes anatropous in the course of its growth.

The seeds that are truncate at one end are anatropous, some of them resembling those of red clover are half anatropous.

No inversion can, therefore, really take place in anatropous ovules, but the blade of the leaf is bent back on the funicle, with which its margins also cohere.
