Explanation

In hypogyny (hypogynous flowers), the ovary is superior and occupies the highest position on the thalamus (receptacle), with other floral parts attached below it. In perigyny, the ovary is half-inferior, and in epigyny, the ovary is inferior and positioned lowest. Lenticles are not related to ovary position.
