pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky.

- The pistil is a flower's female reproductive organ.
- The pistil is made up of a swelling base, the ovary, which houses the prospective seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, which emerges from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive .
- Compatible pollen grains settle on the stigma, germinate, and form a pollen tube in the process of pollination.
- The pollen tube descends through the style tissue, depositing sperm for fertilization of the ovary's ovules.
- In contrast to the male reproductive portions, or androecium, the gynoecium is made up of pistils (see stamen).
