Question:
(groups of carpels are termed as gynoecium) does flowers have more than one ovary?
Answer:
Yes, a flower may have more than one ovary. Ovary is the swollen basal part of the pistil or carpel that contains ovule.
Flowers which contain more than one carpels are called multicarpellary flowers. Thus, if there are more than one carpel in a flower, there would be more than one ovary as well, which may either be free or fused with one another.
If they are free from one another, they represent apocarpous condition. While if they are fused with one another, they represent syncarpous condition.
