The Pistil grows upon the receptacle, or upon a stem arisingfrom it, called a Stipe (Fig. 71). In a few orders there are several ormany pistils in each flower. Usually there is but one, formed of severalsimple i)istils (carpels) united more or less closely. As in the other floralorgans, there are all degrees of cohesion, from a slight union of thebases of the ovaries—rarely of the stigmas only—to such completenessas leaves no trace of lobes in the stigma (see Fig. on p. 5). Often thefree styles tell how many carpels compose the pistil (Fig. 69). Generallythe stigmas are divided or lobed (Fig. 68). These marks wanting a crosssection of the ovary, or, better still, of the partly grown fruit, will usu-ally show a cell for each carpel (see the right-hand figure, p. 88b).
