Fig. 225, — Papillose stigma of Staiice, (when there is only one carpel to the pistil, as in the case of the Pea, it is also said to be apocarpous). If there is but one carpel, the pistil is said to be monocarpellary. A biearpellary pistil has two carpels, a tricarpellary three, a polycarpellary pistil more than three. In a syncarpous pistil we can often tell the num- ber of carpels present by the separate stigmas (or styles) (fig. 225). In other cases we find on making a section that the syncarpous ovary possesses several cells or loculi, each correspond- ing with a single carpel, so that from them we can count the number of carpels (fig. 226). Sometimes we find that there is but a single loculus in the ovary, and we can then often tell the number of carpels by.
