Gynophore is a botanical term describing the stalk-like structure that separates the female reproductive organs from the rest of the flower. In order to provide a more varied vocabulary, there are several synonyms for the word. For instance, it can be referred to as a pistil stalk, an elongated receptacle or even a pedicel. It is also commonly said to be a style stalk, as it supports the style of the flower. Additionally, it is sometimes known as a gynostemium or an ovary stalk. Using these synonyms when discussing botanical structures brings depth to descriptions and allows for precise communication.
