Abstract: We studied the development of the ovule and embryo-sac of Vitex rotundifolia by paraffin sections to add the embryological data of Viticoideae. The ovule is hemianatropous, unitegmic and tenuinucellate. The endothelium is present. Development of the embryo-sac is of Allium type which may be derived from the monosporic Polygonum type. Allium type embryo-sac in V.rotundifolia is first reported in Viticoideae as well as the whole Lamiaceae.

Key words: embryo-sac development, ovule development, Vitex rotundifolia
