| Ovaries exhibited three locular carpels, each carpel containing a single anatropous, bitegmic and crassinucellar ovule. |
| The fruit is a schizocarp, breaking at maturity into three single-seeded units, each about 2 mm long, consisting of a seed within a carpel. |
| Because valves are scored to determine the numbers of carpels present within a gynoecium, flowers with one or zero valves could affect the mean carpel number. |
| The stigma consists of a long band of receptive tissue along the ventral side of the carpel, covered by long unicellular papillae. |
| It is also applied to the stalk or petiole of a carpel, in the rare cases when there is any, as in Goldthread. |
| Roeper has also mentioned a balsam with a supernumerary stamen occupying exactly the position of a carpel. |
