Abstract

It is suggested that the unilocular ovary of the Compositae may have originated as a result of the gradual suppression or incomplete development of the septum separating the two locules in the ovary of the Stylidiaceae. It is also possible that the unilocular condition of the Compositae may have been derived as a result of abortion of one of the locules, for, this tendency is already evident in certain species of Stylidium like S. adnatum.
