The pistil is the collective term for the female reproductive structures in the flower-The Stigma, Style, Ovary and Ovule.
Female Reproductive System: The carpel or pistil is in the very center of the flower and contains the female organs. There may be one or more pistils. This part of a flower resembles a bowling pin in shape with the rounded lower base being the ovary. Inside the ovary are reproductive cells or ovule. Coming up from the ovary the pistil narrows into a neck called the style, and the knob at the top of the neck is the stigma. This part of a flower is sticky.
