Number of Pistils.—Taking the Greek numerals, with the Greek poly,—as we did for the stamen,—and prefixing them to the root gyn (woman, pistil), we have the same descriptive terms for the gynoecium,—monogynia, etc. Besides these, the pistil—which is also called Carpd, espe- cially when there is more than one in the gynoecium—is : Monocarpous when there is but one ovary, as in the Pea (Fig. 5, 6); Syncarpous when there are two or more ovaries, as in the Lily (Fig. 6, 4); Apocarpous (Gr. apo, from, separate) when there are many distinct carpels, as in the Buttercup (Fig. 9, 1). 273. The Position of the Stigma in regard to the Style is Terminal when the conducting tissue is at the apex (Lily); Unilateral when on side (Custard-Apple); Bilateral when on both sides (Plantain). ' 274. In Form the Stigma is Capi- tate (head-like) in. Fig. 174.—A, vert. sec. of fl, of Melandriam dioicum. B, fr. of Geramum aan- gnineum. C, fr. of Malva enlvestris.
