Modified leaf organ for reproduction. In cereals it is synonymous with the ovule.

The part of a flower which contains the ovules. Within a individual bloom, carpels are collectively called the pistil. Also see Bloom.

a simple pistil consisting of ovary, style and stigma, or element of a compound pistil.

The seed producing portion of the flower.

Carpels are located at the center of the flower. A carpel may form a simple pistil (the female reproductive organs of the flower), but a pistil may be composed of two or more fused carpels. The carpel is a modified leaf-like structure, enclosing one or more ovules. To learn how many carpels are in a pistil, count the number of divisions in the stigma; if the stigma is not divided, there is only one carpel.
