What is the position of the ovary in these figures?

In some carpels or pistils the style is frequently wanting, the stigma then being called sessile.
Pistils are stipitate if stalked and sessile if without a stalk. The ovary is inferior when the other floral
organs i.e, the perianth and the stamens appear as though they were inserted on the top of the ovary
(epigynous); superior when it is inserted on the receptacle and free from the other floral organs which
are also inserted on the receptacle (hypogynous); and half-superlor or half-inferior when the other
floral organs are inserted midway between the top and base of the ovary either on the calyx-tube or a
hypanthium (perigynous). When the ovary is inferior the calyx (and corolla) is superior and when the
ovary is superior the calyx (and corolla) is inferior.
