Purple androecium and gynoecium (stamens) with the androecium having purple bars at the top and the gynoecium having a green bead like structure. Can anyone please identify this flower?

The flower is that of Capparis plant of Capparidaceae family also known as Capparaceae family .
The exact name is Capparis zeylanica. OR Capparis spinosa . Most probably it is Capparis spinosa .
The green bead like structure at the top of the gynoecium is in fact the ovary .
And what you call gynoecium in this case is in fact ' Gynophore " , an extension of internode between androecium ( Stamens ) and the ovary ( Gynoecium )
Presence of this feature is a character of this family
