Fish meal oddly rejected: apart from the stigma, it also has style (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpel

'apart from the stigma it also has style' is the definition.
(female reproductive organ of flower)

'fish meal oddly rejected' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'carp' (carp is a kind of fish**).
'oddly rejected' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'meal' are 'el'.
'carp'+'el'='CARPEL'

(Other definitions for carpel that I've seen before include "Part of a flower" , "organ" , "bit of a flower" .)
