syncarpous
/sɪnˈkɑːpəs
/adjective Botany
(Of a flower, fruit, or ovary) having the carpels united. Often contrasted with apocarpous.At anthesis, the ovary is completely septate; the syncarpous part (ovary and lower style) is completely symplicate....
- Unfortunately their findings have been largely overlooked and most pomologists assume that apple flowers have an imperfectly syncarpous gynoecium.
- False septums may have been put in later on which could lead to the misapprehension of a syncarpous ovary at superficial examination.
Origin
