syncarpous

adjective sɪnˈkɑːpəssinˈkärpəs
Botany
  • (of a flower, fruit, or ovary) having the carpels united.

    Often contrasted with apocarpous
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Since all the carpels came from a single compartmented gynoecium (compound pistil), the gynoecium is referred to as syncarpous.
