The pis- til may be of one part or compart- ment, or of many parts. The different units or parts of which it is composed are carpels. Each carpel is homo- logous with a leaf. Each carpel bears one or more seeds. A pistil of one carpel is simple; of two or more carpels, compound. Usually the structure of the pistil may be determined by cut- ting across the lower or seed- bearing part. Figs. 190,191, 192 explain. A flower may contain one carpel (simple pistil) as the pea (Fig. 190); several separate carpels or.
