Explanation
The ovary in the flowers of a plum is half-inferior. The receptacle is embedded or surrounded by a half-inferior ovary. Flowers such as these are called perigynous or half-epigynous. Half-inferior ovaries are not known in some classifications and are classified with either the dominant or inferior ovaries instead. If sepals, petals and stamens are inserted under the ovary, the flower is considered to be hypogynous. The thalamus forms a cup-shaped structure around the ovary in perigynous flowers, and sepals, petals, and stamens tend to be inserted on the cup surface. The flower is said to be epigynous as the thalamus fully encloses the ovary and fuses with the ovary wall and sepals, petals and stamens appear to emerge above the ovary.The anther is the end of the stamen where the pollen is found. Three sections are made of the pistil: the ovary, the style and the stigma. In order to produce a seed, the ovary produces ovules that need to be fertilised. An egg nucleus and polar nuclei are found in the ovules.
