Botany. THE FRUIT. 95 linilooular composite ovary contains one, few, or many seeds, this carpel, cell, or ovary is said to be monospermous [monosperma), oligospermous [oligospermaj, or many-seeded {polysperma). The ripe ovary is called a pericarp {pericarpmm); we have already described the three layers of which it is composed (figs. 15, 16), epicarp, endocarp, and mesocwrp or sarcoearp. Changes caused by Maturation.—In ripening, the fruit undergoes changes, some of which have been already mentioned: it may be dry, and then, according to its consistency, it is said to be membranous, corky, coriaceous, woody, bony; the latter quality is found in the Filbert (fig. 233); sometimes it becomes fleshy through the abundant pulp of the seed;' in Belladonna {&g. 567) the mesocarp is succulent; in the Orange (fig. 568) the pulp consists of long.
