Explanation

Parietal placentation characteristically occurs in multicarpellary, syncarpous ovaries where the ovules are borne on the inner walls (periphery) of a single chamber (unilocular). The fusion of carpels creates one large cavity with ovules attached to the walls, unlike axile placentation which has multiple chambers.
