Fruits are variously named, and underneath will be found a list. We have the aggregate, like the mulberry, etc.; the dehiscent fruit of one carpel like the pea, etc.; the simple fruits as cherry, nettle, wheat, etc. The dandelion fruit is often a precious object in children’s estimation, as it is blown away to ascertain the time. There are indehiscent fruits with many carpels,—the common buttercup, for instance, and the strawberry. A list is added.
