| 11. | The unicarpel gynoecium is welded between the stamens like a knife in its sheath.
|
| 12. | The degree of connation ( " fusion " ) in a syncarpous gynoecium can vary.
|
| 13. | It can be a challenge to determine how many carpels fused to form a syncarpous gynoecium.
|
| 14. | The gynoecium consists of 2 carpels.
|
| 15. | The gynoecium is receptive to pollen extends downward along the fissures where the carpels are joined.
|
| 16. | The gynoecium is bicarpelar ( rarely three-or five-locular ) with a axial placentation.
|
| 17. | Carpels may be called the " female " parts of a flower; collectively they form the gynoecium.
|
| 18. | The relationship of the other flower parts to the gynoecium can be an important systematic and taxonomic character.
|
| 19. | The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels.
|
| 20. | There are three to six small, triangular staminodes and the gynoecium is ovoid and covered in brown scales.
