T]ie Hesperidium is a superior, many-celled, few-seeded, indehiscent fruit, consisting of a separable pericarp, formed of the epicarp and mesocarp combined together (fig. 549, p, e), and having an endocarp, d, projecting internally in the form of membranous partitions, which divide the pulp into a number of portions or cells, which are easily separated from each other. This pulp, as already noticed, is a development of succulent parenchyma either from the general inner lining of the ovary, or from the placentas only. The seeds, s, s, are imbedded in the pulp, and attached to the inner angle of each of the portions into which the fruit is divided. The fruits of the Orange, Lemon,.
