Position of floral parts on thalamus -

Hypogyny - ovary is at the top and separable from thalamus. ovary is superior and convex

eg: Brassica & malva

perigyny: ovary is half superior and half inferior. example, rose.

Epigyny - calyx & corolla arise from the upperside of ovary & Ovary is completely surrounded by or fused by thalamus. Ovary is inferior. eg: luffa , Aster
