This fruit is INDEHISCENT

i.e. Walnut, Hazelnut

47
Q

Key to Fruits:

  1. Dry fruits
  2. Fruits with two to many seeds

Q

Key to Fruits

  1. Fleshy Fruits
  2. Ovary with many seeds, does not have a “stone”.
  3. Fleshy fruit develops in part from surrounding tissue of the flower (base of sepals and petals): therefore, ovary wall seen as “core” around seeds
