If pistil is simpie (gynoecium apocarpous), there is 
a single carpel. | 
2. If the pistil is compound (gynoecium syncarpous), 
several carpels are united. 
Syncarpous capsules may dehisce in three ways, 
Ist, septicidal dehiscenge (azalea, rhododendron). 
2nd, loculicidal dehiscence (iris, lily, etc.) 
3rd, poricidal dehiscence (poppy).
