examples of legumes
Samara (Indehiscent)
pericarp (ovary wall) extends out to form a wing
Aggregate Fruits
result from a single flower with multiple ovaries
Grains (Indehiscent)
seed is tightly attached to the pericarp and inseperable
Pomes (simple fleshy fruit)
simple, fleshy fruits, the bulk of the flesh comes form the receptable (not the actual ovary)
Drupes (simple fleshy fruit)
single seed enclosed by a hard, stony endocarp (or pit)
Achenes (Indehiscent)
single seeded only the base of seed attaches to the pericarp so the seed is relatively easily removed
Nuts (Indehiscent)
single-seeded larger than achenes pericarp much harder and thicker with a cluster of bracts into a cup at the base
Follicle (simple dry fruit, dehiscent)
splits along 1 seam only
legume (simple dry fruit, dehiscent)
splits along 2 seams but with no central axis
Silique (simple dry fruit, dehiscent)
splits along 2 seams, with the seeds on either side of the central axis
capsules (simple dry fruit, dehiscent)
splits along more than 2 seams, consist of at least 2 carpels and splits along the partions or in spaces between carpels
Multiple Fruit
there are many densly arranged flowers the ovaries fuse to form what appears to be a single fruit
