Geodorum densiflorum, a terrestrial orchid, grows in the shade of dense moist deciduous forests, evergreen forests, and grasslands of Western Ghats. During the present study, megasporogenesis and development of female gametophyte in this species showed that ovary  was inferior and unilocular with many ovules borne on the parietal placenta. The ovules were anatropous, bitegmic, and tenuinucellate. The development of the female gametophyte confirmed to the monosporic 8-nucleate type in G. densiflorum.
