Placentation refers to the arrangement or the position of ovules in the ovary. The ovules are found in chambers called loculi (sing. loculus) which may be separated from one another by partitions known as septa. The ovules in the chambers are attached to the placenta which can be found at the centre of the ovary or along the ovary wall.
An ovule is attached to the placenta by a short stalk called the funicle.
