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.
