Abstract

The flowers of Zingiber officinale are trimerous, with an attractive labellum, a single fertile stamen, and an inferior ovary with many ovules on an axile placentum. The ovule is -anatropus and bitegmic. Meiosis was highly irregular. Only 37 % of the pollen grains was stainable in aceto-carmine. Maximum germination observed in an artificial medium was only 14.5 %.
