helobial endosperm [PO:0006017; plant anatomy term ]
An endosperm in which the first karyokinetic event is accompanied by the formation of a horizontal wall which divides the central cell into unequal regions. The larger one is the micropylar chamber in which cytokinesis does not occur and the smaller one is the chalazal chamber.

hilum [PO:0020063; plant anatomy term ]
A cardinal part of multi-tissue plant structure (PO:0025498) that is a scar on a seed (PO:0009010) at the place where it was attached to a funicle (PO:0020006).
More

hilum groove [PO:0004719; plant anatomy term ]
