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. 146. 225. 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. 146), or several-celled, as in the fruit of the poppy, the morning-glory, and the jimson weed (Fig. 146). 226.

Dry Fruits and Fleshy Fruits In all the cases discussed or described in Sects. 222-225, the wall of the ovary (and the adherent calyx when present) ripens into tis- sues which are somewhat hard and dry. Often, however, these parts become developed into a juicy or fleshy mass by which the seed is surrounded; hence a general division of fruits into dry fruits and fleshy fruits. 227. The Stone-Fruit. — In the peach, apricot, plum, and cherry, the pericarp or wall of the ovary, during the process of ripening, becomes converted into two kinds of. Fig. 140.
