Epigynous
🌸 Flower Parts●●● Advanced
An epigynous flower has its sepals, petals and stamens inserted on top of an inferior ovary. The ovary therefore sits below the rest of the flower, and the fruit swells beneath the withered bloom.
Example
“In an epigynous flower the floral parts are attached above the ovary, so the swelling fruit forms beneath the faded petals.”
