Question:
How can you differentiate between free central and axile placentation?
Solution:
When the placenta is axial and the ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary, the placentation is said to be axile. Examples – china rose, tomato and lemon.
When the ovules are borne on the central axis and septa are absent, the placentation is called free central. Examples – Dianthus and Primrose.
