Broken fruit

The broken fruit (also members of fruit called) is a subtype of decay fruit . When ripe, it breaks along mostly false but also real partitions (septa) into several solitary partial fruits. In contrast, the fissure fruit divides along real partitions into individual mericarpies, partial fruits.

The broken fruits can be divided into

• Members sleeve (Lomentum): the fruit is formed from a carpel and is transversely divided and divided into seeded part limbs. In Central Europe, this form of fruit occurs in some butterflies , e.g. B. in crown peas , horseshoe clover and sweet clover .
  • Frame sleeve (Craspedium): a form of the link sleeve in which the abdominal and back seam (replum) remain as a frame after the links have fallen out; Mimosoideae .

• Pod members (Bilomentum): the fruit is formed of a plurality (2 or 4) carpels and is transversely divided and divided into seeded part limbs. In Central Europe this type of fruit occurs in some cruciferous vegetables , e.g. B. in the radish ; Hederich and the sea mustard .

• Klausen fruit : the fruit disintegrates by splitting real partitions and breaking along false partitions. It is usually formed from two carpels and is longitudinally structured. Important plant families with this fruit shape are the labiates and the predatory plants .
