(1) Unfortunately their findings have been largely overlooked and most pomologists assume that apple flowers have an imperfectly syncarpous gynoecium.(2) If ovaries are entirely fused together, gynaecium is syncarpous .(3) False septums may have been put in later on which could lead to the misapprehension of a syncarpous ovary at superficial examination.(4) Since all the carpels came from a single compartmented gynoecium (compound pistil), the gynoecium is referred to as syncarpous .(5) At anthesis, the ovary is completely septate; the syncarpous part (ovary and lower style) is completely symplicate.
