168. The achenium is such a fruit as we find in Butter- 

 cups, Anemone, Sage. Usually there are several produced 

 together from one flower. We must not mistake them for 

 seeds. They are pericarps, each inclosing one seed, as you 

 see in the figures. The grain of Wheat or Corn (called cariop- 

 sis) is much the same, but the one seed cannot be separated 

 from the pericarp. 



1 69. The samara is mere- 

 ly an achenium with a ^ing, 

 s.s in Ash, Elm, Maple. The 

 la ter fruit is a double sa- 

 mara. 



170. A glans (or nut) is 

 t=urh a fruit as Acorn, Chest- 

 nut, Ilazelnut, much like 

 jK-.lieiiium, but larger, and 

 seated in a cup or invo- 

 lucre. 



171. A drupe is such a 

 lleshy fruit as the Cherry 

 or Peach. It is well called 

 a stone-fruit. The stone in- 

 closes the One Seed, and is larged view, showing the seed 



itself inclosed in a juicy th ^ 82 . Frait of Hentane 



pulp. with its lid open.
