Lily Ovary which has 3 Carpels with Axial Placentation. The number of locules is often (but not always) equal to the number of carpels. The answer to your question would be 3. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

Answer and Explanation:

A Lilly typically consists of a singular composite pistil of 3 carpels, a unique form usually with 3 stigmas, and a better or often lower ovary with 3 locules, all carrying certain to diverse axile ovules. Unusually there are 2 or 4 carpels and locules with axile plantation or only a separate locule with intruded parietal plantation.
