The difference between “syncarpous” and “apocarpous” refers to the structure of the pistils in a flower:
1. Syncarpous: In syncarpous flowers, the carpels (pistils) are fused together to form a single structure. This means that multiple carpels are united, creating a compound pistil. Examples include flowers of the tomato and the bell pepper.
2. Apocarpous: In apocarpous flowers, the carpels are separate and not fused. Each carpel is distinct and can be free from the others, resulting in multiple individual pistils in one flower. An example of this is the flower of the buttercup.
