CLASSIFICATION OF FRUITS. 
Order 3d. Dierisilia, (from diairesis , division) contains simple 
fruits which divide into many parts when ripe. The prin- 
cipal genera are cremorcarp , (from kremao to suspend and 
karpos fruit) having a pericarp, divisible into two seeds, 
as the coriander, parsley, &c. The other genera in this or- 
der are, 
Regmate , (from regma, opening with noise.) containing 
many seeds, which are enclosed by two valves, opening by 
an elastic movement, as euphorbia. 
DieresV, a variable genus, containing such fruits in the 
order Dierisilia as do not properly come under the two oth- 
er divisions, as the nasturtion, geranium, &c. 
Fig. 35. 
You see here (Fig. 35,) a fruit of the order Dierisilia; it 
belongs to the genus Regmate. It naturally divides into 
four seeds ; a represents the entire fruit, and b the same 
cut transversely. 
Order 4th. Etairionnair, (from eiairoi, associates,) containing 
compound fruits : the genera are, 
Double Follicle , as in the milk weed ( asclepias ,) having 
two follicles, each formed of one valve, folded lengthwise. 
Etairon, having many seeds ranged round the imagina- 
ry axis of the flower, as the ranunculus and anemone. 
Here is the fruit (Fig. 36) of the Ac- 
onitum (monks’-hood) which may repre- 
sent all fruits of this order ; it is compo- 
sed of three pods united in one com- 
pound fruit ; a shows one of the valves 
in a dehiscent state ; b represents a seed 
cut longitudinally.
