◯>>: Raphanus has a long siliqua, which, in the garden Radish (R. sativus), is spongy and slightly abstricted (Fig. [411]), but neither opens nor divides transversely (a kind of dry berry), and which in the Wild Radish (R. raphanistrum) (Fig. [410]) is abstricted in the form of a string of pearls, and separates into many joints. R. sativus; the “Radish” is formed by the hypocotyl, after the bursting of its external, cortical portions (of which there are generally two patches at the top of the Radish).
