Fruit and Seed. The ovary in this Order is made up of 

 two to five carpels, rarely one as in Cneoridium and Amaroria, 

 and is more or less deeply two- to five-lobed, or the carpels are 

 altogether free. When the carpels cohere they form an ovary 

 with as many cells as there are carpels ; the cells in Cneorum 

 tricoccum are sometimes spuriously bilocellate with superposed 

 ovules and cavities. The ovules are generally solitary, rarely 

 four to five as in Dictyoloma or numerous as in Kceberlinia ; 

 and they are pendulous, anatropous, amphitropous, or variously 

 curved. The raphe is ventral, and the micropyle superior as a
