Gynoecium
A gynoecium (from Ancient Greek gyne, "woman") is the female reproductive part of a flower. The male counterpart of is called an androecium. A gynoecium is composed of one or more pistils. A pistil may consist of a single free carpel, in which case the gynoecium is termed monocarpous. A pistil can also be formed from a number of carpels that are fused, and in this case the flower is synocarpous. "Apocarpous" refers to two or more distinct carpels. The pistil itself is formed from the stigma, style, and ovary. See carpel for a longer discussion.
