Ord. 1. Carcerulaires, Pericarpium indehiscent, but 
sometimes with apparent sutures, generally dry, su- 
perior, or inferior, mostly unilocular and monosper- 
mous, sometimes plurilocular and polyspermous. 
Ord. 2. Capsidaires, Pericarpium dry, superior, or 
inferior, opening by valves, but never separating 
into distinct pieces or cocci. 
Ord. 3. Dieresiliens, Pericarpium superior or inferior,

one common style), composed of several distinct 
pieces arranged systematically round a central real 
or imaginary axis, and separating at maturity. 
Ord. 4. Etairionaires, Pericarps several, irregular, 
superior, one or many-seeded, with a suture at 
the back. 
Ord. 5. Cenohionaires. A regular fruit divided to the 
base into several acephalous pericarpia; that is to 
say, not marked on the summit by the stigmatic scar, 
the style having been inserted at their base. 
Ord. 6. Drupacees. Pericarpium indehiscent, fleshy 
externally, bony internally. 
Ord. 7. Bacciens. Succulent, many-seeded.
