Where Is Vivipary Found?

Vivipary is the condition whereby the embryo (the young plant within the seed) grows first to break through the seed coat then out of the fruit wall while still attached to the parent plant. This condition is found in Bruguiera, Ceriops, Kandelia and Rhizophora species.

Where is viviparity found?

So, viviparity is found in all births giving animals. This includes humans. Examples of viviparous animals are: human beings, dogs, cats, elephants and some groups of sharks. Chances of survival are high for viviparous animals as nourishment and care is provided inside the womb of the mother.

Why does vivipary occur?

In plants, vivipary occurs when seeds or embryos begin to develop before they detach from the parent. Plants such as some Iridaceae and Agavoideae grow cormlets in the axils of their inflorescences. These fall and in favourable circumstances they have effectively a whole season's start over fallen seeds.
