For example, a lily, which is a mono-cot, has 3 sepals, 3 petals, 6 stamens, and a 3-part ovary formed from the fusion of 3 carpels. The flower of a wild geranium, a dicot, consists of 5 sepals, 5 petals, 10 stamens, and 5 fused carpels with separate stigmas.

Answer and Explanation:

A Lilly typically consists of a singular composite pistil of 3 carpels, a unique form usually with 3 stigmas, and a better or often lower ovary with 3 locules, all carrying certain to diverse axile ovules. Unusually there are 2 or 4 carpels and locules with axile plantation or only a separate locule with intruded parietal plantation.
