position of ovula in Echium and Cynoglossum (Boraginaceae)

[Barbara Gravendeel]

Dear colleques,

The search to some information about the position of ovula in Echium
vulgare and Cynoglossum officinale has led me to nowhere, up till now.
Maybe some of you can help?

I'm interested in the exact connection of the vascular bundles of the
four ovula to the main bundle from where they get their resources. Are
they all separate connected to a main bundle, or is there one bundle branching
from the main bundle, leading to all four ovula. Are the ovula connected
pairwise or totally separated?

If anyone has some information, I will be pleased to hear. B.Gravendeel
will directly forward it to me or you can send it directly to me.

Yours sincerely,
