The word 'succulent fruit' is synonymous to fleshy fruit and both words are often used interchangeably. [1] [2] Fruits can be classed as fleshy fruits or dry fruits based on their pericarp. Anatomically, fleshy fruits have a fleshy pericarp which is divided in three layers: an outermost exocarp or epicarp, a middle mesocarp and the innermost ...
Cam sành (Vietnamese: [kaːm ʂâjŋ̟]) [1] [2] or King orange (Citrus reticulata × sinensis) [1] is a citrus hybrid originating in Vietnam.. Cam sành is Vietnamese for "terracotta orange", although the fruit is more akin to a mandarin or tangerine.
The pedicels holding the flowers are 4 to 8 centimeters long. The flower has 4 petals, each 1 to 1.4 centimeters long with a notch in the tip. The two petal color morphs are white and yellow, but all the petals have yellow or orange bases. The fruit is a smooth, oblong or somewhat rounded silicle up to about 1.4 centimeters long. The winged ...
Flowering occurs from February to June and the fruit is a fleshy, white, yellow or purplish, more or less spherical drupe 5–9 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long, that matures from May to December. The fruit are four-lobed and have a tuft of hairs on the end.
The fleshy berry fruit ends up being an orange-red color that contains one to three seeds. The berries are usually eaten and dispersed by birds and other animals. The shape of the tree is an adaptation for survival in arid conditions with low amounts of soil, such as in mountaintops.
The fleshy, edible portion of the fruit is an aril, surrounding one dark brown inedible seed that is 1 to 3.3 cm long and 0.6 to 1.2 cm wide (0.39–1.30 by 0.24–0.47 in). Some cultivars produce a high percentage of fruits with shriveled aborted seeds known as 'chicken tongues'.
In fleshy fruit, during development, the pericarp and other accessory structures become the fleshy portion of the fruit. [2] The types of fleshy fruits are berries, pomes, and drupes. [ 3 ] In berries, the entire pericarp is fleshy but this excludes the exocarp which acts as more as a skin.
In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pip (UK), pit (US), stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. Drupes do not split open to release the seed, i.e., they are indehiscent. [1]
