Summary
The development of the microspores is of the simultaneous type. The haplojd number of chromosomes is 28.
The pollen grains are binucleate at the shedding stage.
The ovules are anatropous and bitegmic. The nucellus is massive.
The archesporial cell arises in the fourth layer of the nucellus and directly functions as the megaspore mother cell.
