花藥為四孢子型。花藥壁之發育為雙子葉型。 分泌型營養層為單層細胞且為雙重起源。四分小孢子為四分錐形體。花藥開裂時花粉粒為二細胞期且具三個萌芽孔。胚珠為單層珠被,薄珠心,倒生胚珠型。雌配子體的發育為蓼型。受精作用是經由珠孔。胚乳是細胞型具單細胞合點端吸器,而珠孔端吸器起源時為四細胞,但由於吸器細胞之細胞壁的瓦解而成為具四核之單細胞。胚胎發育為柳葉菜型。種皮薄具一明顯表皮層。

　　　　　Anthers are tetrasporangiate. Anther wall development is of the dicotyledonous type. Theglandular tapetum is single-layered and exhibits dual origin. Microspore tetrads are tetrahedral.Pollen grains at the time of anther dehiscence are two-celled and triaperturate. Ovules areunitegmic, tenuinucellar and anatropous. Development of female gametophyte conforms to thePolygonum type. Fertilization is porogamous. Endosperm is celluar with a single-celled chalazalhaustorium, while the micropylar haustorium is initially four-celled, but becomes single-celled andquadrinucleate by the breakdown of the walls of the haustorial cells. Embryo developmentconforms to Onagrad type. Seed coat is thin with a prominent epidermal layer.
