Gyanoecium pentacarpellary, ovary superior, placentation axile, syncarpous. The degree of connation ("fusion") in a syncarpous gynoecium can vary. A syncarpous gynoecium can sometimes appear very much like a monocarpous gynoecium. Any unisexual flowers are slightly dimorphic, solitary, or in rows; all have syncarpous, triovulate gynoecium. The gynoecium is syncarpous with an inferior ovary (rarely secondarily superior, e.g. "Gaertnera", "Pagamea"). Otherwise, the ovary in Ochnaceae is syncarpous, consisting of carpels that are completely fuzed. If a gynoecium has multiple carpels "fused" into a single structure, it is "syncarpous".
