Q.Gynoecium with united carpels is termed as ________.

The gynoecium (pistil) is the flower's female reproductive part, made up of one or more carpels. A typical pistil has three regions: the basal ovary, the elongated style connecting it to the tip, and the apical stigma that receives pollen; an ovary raised on a stalk is stipitate. Gynoecia are named by carpel count: unicarpellary/monocarpellary (one, Fabaceae), bicarpellary (two, Rubiaceae), tricarpellary (three, Cucurbitaceae), tetracarpellary (four, Lamiaceae) and multicarpellary (many, Nymphaeaceae). Carpels may stay distinct - an apocarpous gynoecium, considered the ancestral condition (Annona) - or fuse together into a syncarpous gynoecium (Citrus, tomato), which may be unilocular (one shared chamber) or multilocular (several chambers/locules divided by septa). Inside the ovary, ovules sit on a tissue called the placenta, and the chambers formed by the ovary wall and any septa are locules: ovaries are named unilocular, bilocular, trilocular and so on by locule count, with more than one locule generally called plurilocular. The style connecting ovary to stigma may be simple (unbranched, Hibiscus), bifid (branched in t …
