It has ascertained, that Cobea scandens Cav., which introducted in the National botanic garden of M.M. Grishka NAN of Ukraine, has secretory tissues, which develop and function normally. In anatomical structure of C. scandens nectaries five structurefunctional areas were founded. In the cells of secretory area a lot of RNA and proteins were detected. Intrastaminal nectaries have many common morpho-anatomical features with stamens. It is support of M. Dawson opinion (see TAXTA 1966) about staminal origin of C. scandens nectaries.

Considering the septal nectary as a system of exogenous cavities inside the ovary and taking account of possibilities of various ways of the formation of nectary walls we propose to apply the concept of vertical zonality to the analysis of the septal nectary structure. The comparative analysis of the gynoecium with septal nectaries must include data about the nectary vertical zones and its location in the structural zones of the gynoecium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
