The Follicle. — One-celled, simple pistils, like those of the marsh marigold, the columbine, and a good many other plants, often produce a Fig. 168.—Group of Foiii- fruit which dehisces along a single oies and a Single jouioie guture, usually the Ventral one. Such of the Monkshood. ' •' a fruit is called a, follicle (Fig. 168). 239. The Legume. — A legume is a one-celled pod, formed by the maturing of a simple pistil, which dehisces along both of its sutures, as already seen in the case of the bean pod, and illus- trated in Fig. 271. 240. The Capsule.— The dehiscent fruit formed by the ripening of a compound pistil is called a capsule. Such a fruit may be one- celled, as in the linear pod of the celandine (Fig. 271), or several- celled, as in the fruit of the poppy, the morning-glory, and the jimson weed (Fig. 271)..
