List-1 List-II
Conditions Explanations
(A) Apocarpous (IV) More than one free pistils
(B) Syncarpous (III) More than one pistils fused together
(C) Multicarpellary (II) Gynoecium consists of a more than one pistil
(D) Monocarpellary (I) Gynoecium consists of a single pistil

The gynoecium represents the female reproductive part of the flower. The gynoecium may consist of a single pistil (monocarpellary) or may have more than one pistil (multicarpellary). When there are more than one, the pistils may be fused together (syncarpous) or may be free (apocarpous). Each pistil has three parts, the stigma, style and ovary. The stigma serves as a landing platform for pollen grains. The style is the elongated slender part beneath the stigma. The basal bulged part of the pistil is the ovary. Inside the ovary is the ovarian cavity (locule).
