By the time the sporangia discharge the pollen, each spore has begun a develop- ment which it completes on the stigma to which it is transferred. See Fertilisatiort. 'Wiiiow. Cai-peZs. —The carpels are the sporangial Showing one leaves which occupy the center of the compound flower. The number of carpels is very pistil; variable. Usually they are fewer than the ™= s(,style; floral leaves. In most flowers the carpels '• ''''• are united one to another to form a structure known as a compound pistil (Figs. 825, 833, 835, 836). When the carpels are separate, each develops as a simple pistil. Of these there may be one or many (Figs. 834, 837). The pistil, if simple, first appears as a ring-like ridge about the center of the torus. If compound, knob- like rudiments of the component carpels first appear, but the growth early involves the torus between, giving rise to an elevated circular ridge. This carpellary ring irradnnllv irrows upward, partially or completely inclos- ing one or more chambers, in which the ovules arise. At a time when the ovules (which ripen into seeds) were supposed to be com- parable to the eggs of animals, the larger chambered part of the pistil in which they are formed was called the ovary, a name which it still
