Fig. 212.—Pine-apple {Anantufsa saliva). fleshy, dehiscent, one-seeded berry. The Pomegranate (Pig. 208) is a dry berry, from an adherent ovary, with two sets of cells; the lower set has three cells with central plaoentation; the upper set five to seven cells with parietal plaoentation; the cells many-seeded; the seeds baccate, or berry-like, with a succulent testa. 353. The Hesperidium is the fleshy berry which characterizes the Orange, Lemon, Citron, etc. (Pig. 127). It is so called because it is believed that these fruits are the fabled golden apples of the Hes- perides. 354. The Pepo (6r. pepon, soft, mellow) is a berry with a succu- lent interior and fleshy rind, as in the Melon and Cucumber, or with a fibrous interior and woody rind, as in the Gourd. It characterizes the Melon Family. The Calabash (Pig. 209).is a fleshy berry with a hard, gourd-like rind; it is the fruit of a tree about the size of the Apple-tree; the hard shell of the fruit, a foot in diameter, is used for various utensils, and often beautifully carved, by the natives of tropical America. 355. The Pome (L. pomum, apple, etc.) is a fleshy berry with from 2 to 5 horny cells, each cell with 2 or more seeds, as in the Quince (Pig. 210), the Apple, etc. The edible part is the adherent calyx, which becomes fleshy in ripening; the core is the true pericarp. The Haw is a small pome with 1 to 5 bony, 1-seeded cells, resem- bling akaines, and called pyrenes (L. pyren, stone); it gives name to the "Hawthorns. The Hip is a hollow pome with many separate akaines on the torus which lines its fleshy calyx-tube; it belongs to the Rose (Pig. 211). 356. Apocarpous berries.—The Strawberry h
