Part of a flower's gynoecium (6)

I believe the answer is:

pistil

(Other definitions for pistil that I've seen before include "Style in flower" , "Female part of a plant" , "Female organ of a flower" , "Stigma, style and ovary" , "Seed-producing part of a flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
