THE FRUIT. 69 the silique (Fig. 159), or two-valved fruit of the family Cnudferce, where the pod has two parietal placenta; and often a false partition from which the valves sepa- rate (Mustard). A silicle (Fig. 160) is a short silique (Shepherd's-Purse). 89. The samara (Fig. 161) is a winged, one-seeded, indehisceut fruit (Ash, Elm, Maple). The achenium, or akene (Fig. 159 136, mK), is a seed-like fruit, dry, naked, ^^ and indehisceut (Anemone, Compositce). The utricle is like the akene, but with a thin and bladdery loose covering (Goosefoot). The caryopsis (Fig. 1,1) is the grain ; it completely fills the thin-walled cell, and is consolidated with it (Wheat, Indian Corn). A nut is like an akene, but larger, and often enclosed or surrounded by a kind of involucre (Fig. 162}, called a eupuie (Acorn, Hazelnut, Hickory). 90. The drupe is a fruit, the outer part of which be- comes fleshy, called the sareocarp (Gr. sarx, flesh; harpos, fruit); and the inner, stony, called the putamen (Cherry, Peach). The pome (Fig. 156) is a fruit with several carpels of parch- ment-like or stony text- ure, covered by flesh (Apple, Pear, Quince). The pepo is the fleshy ^^^ gourd-fruit, surrounded vrith a firm rind (Squash, Cucumber, Melon). The berry is a fruit which is fleshy throughout (Tomato, Grape, Currant).. Fig. 1S9. A Silique.
