Carpophore

In botany, a carpophore is a continuation of the flower-stalk, which passes in certain flowers, notably those of the family Umbelliferae, between the carpels, until it reaches their highest points. Often when the carpels are ripe, and separate from one another, they remain attached to the carpophore at its summit.
