The position of the receptacle (r) in relation to the ovary in three types of flowers. In the Flowering plants an ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or Gynoecium.

In botany, the receptacle is the thickened part of a stem from which the flower organs grow. Botany, plant science(s, phytology, or plant biology is a branch of Biology and is the scientific study of plant Life A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also In some accessory fruits, for example in pomes or strawberries, the receptacle gives rise to the edible part of the fruit. An accessory fruit, false fruit, spurious fruit, epigynous fruit, syconium or pseudocarp is a Fruit where the fleshy In botany a pome (after the Latin name for an Apple: pomum) is a type of Fruit produced by Flowering plants in the Subfamily Garden strawberries are a common variety of strawberry cultivated worldwide

Receptacles at the end of Fucus branches. Fucus is a Genus of Brown alga ( Seaweed) in the Class Phaeophyceae to be found in the intertidal zones of rocky shores

In phycology, receptacles are structures at the ends of branches of algae mainly in the brown algae or Heterokontophyta in the Order Fucales. Phycology (from Greek grc φύκος phykos, "seaweed" and grc -λογία -logia) or algology (from Latin Algae ( sing. alga are a large and diverse group of simple typically Autotrophic organisms ranging from Unicellular to Multicellular forms The Phaeophyceae or brown algae, (singular alga is a large group of mostly marine multicellular Algae including many Seaweeds of colder The heterokonts or stramenopiles are a major line of Eukaryotes presently containing about 10500 known species This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Fucales is an order in the Phylum Phaeophyta or Brown algae. Members of this order are fucoids They are specialised structures which contain the reproductive organs called conceptacles. In Phycology, conceptacles are specialised cavities of Seaweeds that contain the reproductive organs ^[1] receptacles also function as a structure that captures food.
