<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''''gynoecium'''''(gyne: &quot;woman&quot;) is the [[female]] reproductive part of a [[flower]], the male part of a flower is called ''[[androecium]]''. A gynoecium is composed of one or more [[pistil]]s. A pistil may consist of a single [[carpel]], the flower is named &quot;apocarpous&quot;, or of a number of carpels that have merged, in which case there is only one pistil to each plant. the pistil includes the stigma, style, and ovary.<br /> <br /> A plant ovary (much like an animal [[ovary]]) is the part of the [[pistil]] which contains [[ovules]]. The style is generally referred to as stalklike, without ovules located between the ovary (at the bottom of the pistil) and the stigma (located at the top portion of the pistil). In some plant species styles are not found in the pistils. [[Stigma]] is the pollen receptor within the pistil at the top of the pistil. Stigmas may be discretely defined structures or they may be within a region referred to as the ''stigmatic region''. &lt;ref name=&quot;multiple&quot;&gt;Simpson, M.G.: &quot;Plant Systematics&quot;, pp. 374-375. Elsevier Academic Press, 2006 &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Pistils]] or ovaries can be either simple meaning only one carpel or compound meaning two or more carpels.&lt;ref name=&quot;multiple&quot;/&gt;<br /> {{botany-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Reproductive system]]<br /> [[Category:Plant morphology]]</div>
