21. The flower has a syncarpous gynoecium ( fused-carpellate ovary ) with 5 carpels and has parietal placentation. 22. The typical " Papaver " gynoecium is superior ( the flower is hypogynous ) with a globular ovary. 23. The filaments are joined to form a tube, the empty anthers flattened, gynoecium ovular, trioculate and scaly. 24. Other distinct features include a gynoecium with five to 10 joined carpels, and flowers with more than three parts per whorl. 25. If a gynoecium has multiple carpels " fused " into a single structure, it is "'syncarpous " '. 26. The staminodes are united in an irregular ring, the gynoecium is triocular, triovulate with short trifid stigmas and laterally attached ovules. 27. There are three united staminodes forming a small cup, the gynoecium is ovoid and uniovulate; the pendulous stigma has three lobes. 28. The androecium contains five stamens, while the gynoecium contains two carpels fused into a single pistil with an inferior, glabrous ovary. 29. In a syncarpous gynoecium , the " fused " ovaries of the constituent carpels may be referred to collectively as a single compound ovary. 30. There may be up to nine tooth-like staminodes or none at all; gynoecium uniocular and ovoid with broad, pendulous stigmas.
