Types
Lomentum
It develops from mono-
carpellary, superior,
unilocular ovary. The fruit
arises just like a legume
but when ripened, it forms
single seeded mericarps,
HJ0LPRVDSXGLFD
$UDFKLVK\SRJHD etc.
Carcerulus
Fruits develop from
bicarpellary, syncarpous,
superior ovary. Many
single seeded mericarps
are formed by splitting,

etc.
Double samara
Fruits develop from
bicarpellary, syncarpous,
superior ovary. Pericarp
in these fruits develops in
two wings. On maturity
the fruit splits up into
winged single seeded
mericarps, H.J., $FHU.
Regma
These fruits develop from
multicarpellary pistil. On
maturity, the fruits split up
into single-seeded dehiscent
parts called cocci HJ
5LFLQXV, *HUDQLXPetc.
Cremocarp
Bilocular, two-seeded fruits
which develop from bicarpellary
syncarpous, inferior ovary. On
maturation these divide along
with carpophore (apically grown
part of thalamus) into two
mericarps, each having one seed,
