Carpel

The basic unit of the female sexual organ;


One of the cells or locules of the syncarpous ovary;


The female sporophyll.


The fertile leaf of an angiosperm that bears the ovules. The pistil (female part of the flower) is made up of one or more carpels, where the seeds normally are found.


The female reproductive organ of a flower.


One of the units comprising a pistil or ovary (female part) in a flower; a simple pistil has one carpel, a compound pistil two or more united carpels.


A simple pistil or a single member of a compound pistil.


A simple pistil or one of the modified leaflets forming a compound pistil.


Innermost, leaflike female structure of an angiosperm flower, consisting of stigma, stylus, and ovary. Collectively, the carpels form a gynoecium.


One of the units in the gynoecium (female organs) of a flower. Carpels are either free from one another (as in a Buttercup), or joined together into an ovary (as in Poppy or Flax). Each carpel has a style at its tip.


The female organ of the flower, also known as the pistil. A flower may have several or only one.


The unit that makes up a pistil; there may be 1 or more.


In botany, a leaf-like organ bearing ovules along the margins.


The basic female organ of the flower, containing the developing seed; a single flower may have from one to many carpels, and they may be separate (as in buttercups) or fused together (as in poppies). Each carpel or group of fused carpels consists of an ovary, in which the seeds develop, a stigma, which receives pollen, and frequently a style, an elongated section between ovary and stigma. The carpels of a flower are collectively called the pistil.


Female reproductive organ of flowering plants.


A part of the female organ (pistil) of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style and ovary with ovules; there may be more than one carpel, either joined, which results in a partitioned ovary, or separate.


Immature fruits, which contain one or more unfertilized ovules that will grow into seeds after fertilization.
