Dichotomous Key to the Different Simple Fruit Types:
Fruit derived from a single flower
Fruit derived from a single ovary (pistil) of 1 flower = SIMPLE FRUIT
Pericarp dry at maturity (i. e., at time of seed maturation and dispersal)
Fruit winged
1.
1)
[Note: Many fruit types below may be winged; these may be called a samara or, e.g., a "winged
achene."]
Fruit not winged
Fruit dehiscent (splitting or opening in a regular manner)
Carpel 1
Fruit dehiscing along a single (ventral) line
Fruit dehiscing along two lines.
Carpel 2 or more
Carpels 2; fruits dehiscent along 2 lines, w/ persistent central septum (replum) bearing
2)
3)
seeds
Fruit about as long as broad
Fruit 2X or more longer than broad
Carpels 2 or more; fruits lacking a persistent central septum
Fruit splitting into 2 or more mericarps enclosing seed(s) at time of splitting...6)
[Note: The mericarp may be identified as a specific unit fruit type; e. g., a "schizocarp of
follicles."]
Fruit not splitting into mericarps
Fruit dehiscing by pores

Fruit dehiscing by lines
Lines of dehiscence transversely oriented
Lines of dehiscence vertically oriented
Lines of dehiscence opposite locules.
Lines of dehiscence along septa..

Fruit indehiscent
Seed coat fused completely to pericarp..
Seed coat not fused to pericarp
Pericarp moderately hard; seed attached to pericarp at one point
Pericarp inflated, bladder-like (i.e., pericarp large in relation to seed)...
Pericarp not inflated or bladder-like (i.e., pericarp ca. same size as seed)..... 13)
Pericarp very hard; seed attached to pericarp at one or more points
Pericarp fleshy at maturity (i. e., at time of seed maturation and dispersal)
Endocarp hard and stoney.
Endocarp not hard and stoney
Ovary superior; endocarp with juice sacs (swollen liquid-filled trichomes).
Ovary superior or inferior; juice sacs absent
Ovary inferior; exocarp leathery & placentation parietal or endocarp cartilaginous &
placentation axile
Exocarp leathery and placentation parietal
Endocarp cartilaginous and placentation axile
Ovary superior or inferior; pericarp fleshy, but not a pepo nor a pome

Fruit derived from several ovaries (pistils) of 1 flower = AGGREGATE FRUIT.
Fruit derived from more than 1 (usu. several) flowers = MULTIPLE FRUIT.
