A flower is the reproductive structure of an Angiosperm plant. Flowers have ovaries with ovules that develop into fruits with seeds. There are over 300,000 species of Angiosperms, and their flowers and fruits vary significantly. Flowers and fruits are among the most useful features for the identification of plant species and determination of their evolutionary relationships.
