when the particular seeds have a hard shell like the 
nut, but with this difference, that the hard rind is 
inseparably attached to the skin of the seed, as we 
have already said, § 104, No. 6. In the species of 
apple this is sometimes the case*. }

The appre, (pomum), is a fleshy fruit, that in- 
ternally contains a capsule for the seed. It differs 
from the celled berry, in having a perfect capsule in 
the heart. It is considered according to its sub-

round, long, &c. Examples of this sort of peri- 
carpium we have in the common apple, Pyrus malus,

eucumber, Cucumis sativus; melon, Cucumis melo; 
passion-ilower, Passiflora; water-soldier, Stratiotes 
aloides, &e. ‘Lhe sorts of Pepo are,

flower there are many styles, and each of the germina bears a 
berry, all the small berries (aezmz) grow into one, and are call-

tefceus, UC. 
This 1s likewise the case in the Drupa, e, ¢. the breadfruit, 
Aytocarpus. 
{In descriptions the figure of the berry is carefully attended to.
