THE DRUPA, POMUM AND BACCA. 215 



Sometimes this kind of fruit lodges but one seed, 

 as in many species of TrifoUiim ; see EngL Bof. 

 t. 1048, also Viminaria denudata, Exot. BoL t.Q7. 

 It is only by analogy that such are known to be 

 Legumes. 



4. Drupa,f. 183, a Stone-fruit, has a fleshy coat, not 

 separating into valves, containing a single hard and 

 bony Nut, to which it is closely attached ; as in the 

 Peach, Plum, Cherry, &c. ; see EngL Bot. t. 706 

 and 1383. The Cocoa-nut is a Drupa with a less 

 juicy coat. 



Sometimes the Nut, though not separating into 

 distinct valves, contains more than one cell, and 

 consequently several seeds. Instances are found 

 in Cornus, t. 249, Gcertner, t. 26, and Oka, the 

 Olive, Fl. Gr(2C. t. 3, though one cell of the latter 

 is commonly abortive. 



5. Pomum, f, 184, an Apple, has a fleshy coat like 

 the Drupa, but containing a Capsule with several 

 seeds, as in common Apples and Pears ; see Pyrus 

 domestica, t.S50. 



This is comprehended by Gasrtner under the dif- 

 ferent kinds of Bacca, it being sometimes scarcely 

 possible to draw the line between them ; witness 

 the Linnaian genus Sorbus. 



6. Bacca,f. 1 85, a Berry, is fleshy, without valves,
