The Anatropous Ovule (Fig. 517, 519, 523, 524, 529) is far the most common form. It is best described by likening it to anorthotropous ovule which as it grew had inverted itself on its funicu-lus or support, so that, while the body remains straight, its orifice orapex is brought down to the funiculus and points to the placenta,while the ehalaza occupies the apparent or geometrical apex, i. e. thesummit or point directly opposite the place of attachment. Theovule, thus inverted on its support, coheres with it for itswhole length, and accordingly has a ridge or cord, moreor less ma
