Tho Gone of the Pine (Fig. 154) is a fruit which diflers in an important respect from all those yet men- tioned, inasmuch as it is the product, not of a single flower, but of as many flowers as there are scales. It may therefore be called a collective or multiijle fruit. The Pine-Apple is another instance of the camo thing. 154. Of dehiscent fruits there are some varieties which receive special names. The fruit of ilie Pea, or Bean (Fig. 159), whox. pericarp splits opo:^ along both margins, la called a legume ; tlif-t of Marsh-Marigold (r'ig. Fig. i£o. 25), which opens Jovn one side only, is a Jollicle. Both of these arc apocar- pous. 155. Any syncarpous fruit, having a dry dehiscent pericarp, is crJled a capside.
