Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Colchiceae (Androcymbium)
TLDR
A statistical evaluation of 47 species (6 genera) of the hemisyncarpous Wurmbaeoideae shows a significant tendency for bitegmic ovules and two simple septal bundles per septum to be associated with open sutures and for monotegmic eggs.About:

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Glorioseae
TL;DR: The pistils of the Glorioseae (Gloriosa, Littonia, Sandersonia) are generally tricarpellate and alike; they have many ovules, some of which are barely bitegmic, with inner integuments often nearly fused with nucellar remnants.

Comparative Anatomy of Lachnanthes and Lophiola (Haemodoraceae)
TL;DR: In this article, aspects of vegetative and floral anatomy of the monotypic genera Lachnanthes and Lophiola are described and compared, and the taxonomic placement of both genera within the same tribe is not supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Baeometra, Burchardia and Walleria
TL;DR: The pistils in Baeometra, Burchardia and Walleria ate tricarpellate, and their ovules are mostly bitegmic, and Tribal affinities of these genera are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae
TL;DR: The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous, and all are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Uvularieae
TL;DR: Three genera of the UVularieae (Kreysigia, Schelhammera, Uvularia) have tricarpellate, syncarpous pistils and no raphides were found in the carpels of these genera.

The ovule as an indicator of evolutionary status in angiosperms
TL;DR: It is concluded that the ancestral type of ovule in angiosperms was crassinucellate with three envelopes (two integuments and an aril) each of which received a vascular supply.
