Here your answer
If a gynoecium has a single carpel, it is called monocarpous. If a gynoecium has multiple, distinct (free, unfused) carpels, it is apocarpous. If a gynoecium has multiple carpels "fused" into a single structure, it is syncarpous.
A syncarpous gynoecium can sometimes appear very much like a monocarpous gynoecium.
