If a syncarpous gynoecium has a single style and stigma and a single locule in the ovary, it may be necessary to examine how the ovules are attached.

If solar tracking is exact, the sun s rays would always enter the corolla tube and warm the gynoecium, a process which could be dangerous in a tropical climate.
43.
The trumpet shape of these flowers thus acts as a parasol shading the gynoecium at times of maximum solar radiation, and not allowing the rays to impinge on the gynoecium.

45.
If the hypanthium is absent, the flower is " hypogynous ", and the stamens, petals, and sepals are all attached to the receptacle below the gynoecium.

In angiosperms ( flowering plants ), the term " locule " usually refers to a chamber within an ovary ( gynoecium or carpel ) of the flower and fruits.
47.
The term gynoecium is also used by botanists to refer to a cluster of archegonia and any associated modified leaves or stems present on a gametophyte shoot in mosses, antheridia within the androecium.
48.
The gynoecium is often referred to as female because it gives rise to female ( egg-producing ) gametophytes, however, strictly speaking sporophytes do not have sex, only gametophytes do.
49.
A cluster of antheridia is called an androecium while a cluster of archegonia is called a gynoecium . ( Note these terms have a different meaning when used to refer to flower structures .)
50.
Later based on the floral characters, most notably the basal ovule and gynoecium which appears to be formed from a single carpel, Thorne ( 1976 ) moved it to Malvanae-Urticales, family Urticaceae.
