The ovule is hemianatropous, unitegmic and tenuinucellate. The endothelium is present. Development of the embryo-sac is of Allium type which may be derived from the monosporic Polygonum type. Allium type embryo-sac in V.rotundifolia is first reported in Viticoideae as well as the whole Lamiaceae. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2015.06.007
