| Longitudinal section of a flower of tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). While the color is very different from that of a Magnolia flower, note that the structure is essentially the same, with many spirally arranged stamens, and a gynoecium composed of many free, simple carpels on an elongate receptacle. The brown "hairs" on the gynoecium are the styles/stigmas. |
