The results of a study of genesis and cytoembryological features of Canna indica L. (Cannaceae, Zingiberales) ovule and female gametophyte are presented. C. indica ovule is crassinucellar, bitegmic, anatropous or anacampilotropous. Characteristic features of the ovule organization are the following: two layers of parietal cells at the initial development stages; formation of epistaze, hypostase, raphe, phachychalaza and funicular obturator. An embryo sac develops by the Polygonum-type. The revealed characters of C. indica ovule and embryo sac organization are compared with the literature data on the female generative morphology for species from families Musaceae, Zingiberaceae, Costaceae, Marantaceae, and Heliconiaceae of the order Zingiberales.

Keywords: ovule, embryo sac, Canna indica, Cannaceae
