[edit] Redirect

Moving this to Wiktionary, and replacing this by a "redirect", is an idea. At this stage I dare not say if it would be wise, it will depend on how things will shape up. The botany part of Wikipedia is quite immature.

Having relatively short entries is not a bad thing in itself. Brya 09:45, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I propose merging to carpel as has been done with androecium to stamen. A related proposal can be found at petal. Richard001 08:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the merger.. I don't think anyone would have a problem if it was made. Ardo111 04:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose; a gynoecium is not necessarily a floral structure, such as in bryophytes. That said, I do think the current content should be merged with the carpel article, and the gynoecium page should become a disambiguation page only. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The phrase 'See carpel for a longer discussion' probably should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.196.187 (talk) 08:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Done. Carpel was merged here it seems, perhaps the page names needs resolving. A number of redirects link here, including circular ones, and via dabs. I support the proposal to disambiguate and move this to carpel, but perhaps it needs a mention at WT:PLANTS. cygnis insignis 05:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
