estilo

Sí, como no. Lo es en inglés y en español. Es la parte de una flor femenina:

pistilo: Unidad del gineceo, comprende el ovario, el estilo (cuando presente) y el estigma. Puede constar de uno o más carpelos; cuando de un carpelo, es un pistilo simple; cuando de dos o más carpelos, es un pistilo compuesto. Véanse carpelo y ovario
