stigma/style of carpal



This specimen is a groundhouse iris flower. I found it at Ralphs. The groundhouse iris has a stigma and a style. The stigma is the sticky tip of a flower pistil, on which pollen is deposited at the beginning of pollination, and the style is usually the slender part of a pistil, situated between the ovary and the stigma.
