Detailed explanation-1: -Superior ovary is indicated by a G with a line under it, while the inferior ovary is denoted by a G with a line above it. This is to indicate the position of the ovary as being above the other whorls or vice-versa.
Detailed explanation-2: -(e) Superior ovary: Superior ovary flowers are those flowers in which the gynoecium is present at the highest position, while other floral parts are arranged below it. A flower with this arrangement is described as hypogynous. Examples include brinjal and mustard.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ovary position is a useful feature in classification. An ovary attached above other floral parts is termed superior (see photograph); when it lies below the attachment of other floral parts, it is inferior (see photograph).
