schizocarp |
> loment |
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, dehiscent and with two or more locules; derived from a single, superior or inferior, compound ovary; with or without accessory tissue; splitting between locules to yield separate, individually indehiscent, usually one-seeded segments (cocci or mericarps). |
|
brittle |
= friable |
texture |
|
Dry, firm and easily broken. |

|
samara |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, indehiscent and having one or more integral alate portions that aid in aerial dispersal. |
|
utricle |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, indehiscent, one-seeded and with the pericarp thin and free from the seed; derived from a single, superior, simple ovary. |
|
follicle |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, longitudinally dehiscent, one-locular, one- to many-seeded and derived from a single, superior, simple ovary; dehiscing along a single adaxial suture. |
|
capsule |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, longitudinally or poricidally dehiscent, and derived from a compound ovary with one or more locules; containing one or more seeds. See also pyxis. |
|
legume |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, septicidal, one-loculed and derived from a single, superior, simple ovary; dehiscing along two sutures, one abaxial, one adaxial; in Fabaceae (Leguminosae). See also loment. |
|
silique |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, septifragal, two-loculed and derived from a single, superior, compound ovary; much longer than broad; dehiscing along two sutures, one adaxial, one abaxial, leaving a single persistent septum (replum) after the two valves of the pericarp have fallen away; esp. in Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), Capparaceae. See also silicle. |
|
antipetalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
