Abnormal placentation can lead to an early termination of pregnancy, for example in pre-eclampsia.
12.
The gynoecium is bicarpelar ( rarely three-or five-locular ) with a axial placentation.
13.
The flower has a syncarpous gynoecium ( fused-carpellate ovary ) with 5 carpels and has parietal placentation.
14.
However, decidualization-like reactions have also been observed in some species that don't display hemochorial placentation.
15.
Unlike other members of the Melianthaceae, " Greyia " has simple ( undivided ) ovaries with parietal placentation.
16.
Gesneriaceae have traditionally been separated from Scrophulariaceae by having a unilocular rather than bilocular ovary, with parietal rather than axile placentation.
17.
There is a one locular ovary with a basal placentation; one ovule; a subsessile stigma, which is discoid or capitate.
18.
Because of its placentation, the specimen was determined to be a member of the Scrophulariaceae ( later Plantaginaceae " sensu"
19.
It is three-carpelate and one or, more rarely, three-partitioned, with parietal placentation ( axile in the Apostasioideae ).
20.
However, unlike eutherian mammals, epitheliochorial placentation is not maintained by maternal tissue as embryos do not readily invade maternal tissue outside of the uterus.
