Definition
Plural of epigyny; the condition of having a flower's sepals, petals, and stamens positioned above the ovary.
Etymology
From epi- (upon) + gyny (referring to female/ovary); describing the botanical arrangement where floral parts sit on top of the ovary rather than below it.
Kelly Says
In epigynous flowers like apples and pears, the flower parts grow *on top of* the ovary instead of below it—that's why apple cores have those sepals at the bottom!
