What does GYNOPHORE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A stalk that lifts the female part of a flower, the pistil, above the point where the petals and stamens are attached.
In the passion flower the gynophore holds the ovary high above the other floral parts, giving the bloom its distinctive tiered look. Some plants also use a lengthening gynophore to push developing fruit into the soil, as the peanut does. Botanists therefore treat the gynophore as a structural feature rather than a separate organ.
