Loculicidal capsules possess longitudinal lines of dehiscence radially aligned with the locules, i.e. not at the septa, along the midrib or dorsal suture (seam) of the locules. If septa are absent, the dehiscence lines lie between the placentae. This type is common among many members of the Liliaceae such as Lilium (see illustration).

Some commonly recognized capsule types are: Loculicidal [ lok-yuh-luh–SAHYD-l ] adjective: (of a capsule) splitting longitudinally along the center of the locule. The split occurs along what is sometimes called the midrib or dorsal suture.

Capsule A dry dehiscent fruit developed from several carpels. (a) Loculicidal capsule - one which splits along the outer median line. (lilies). (b) Septicidal capsule - one which splits along the septa and opens at the top. (yucca, agave). (c) Silique - a special long slender capsule of …

A capsule is a dry fruit that is produced from a syncarpous gynoecium and that dehisces. In a loculicidal capsule, the fruit dehisces longitudinally through the locules, as in this violet (Viola) fruit.

Fruit a loculicidal capsule, shaped like an inverted funnel, sometimes flattened, 3-lobed, lobes emarginate or rounded, opening by a longitudinal fissure in the middle of each lobe.

Fruit a loculicidal capsule, dehiscent apically by 2 valves, the calyx lobes persistent at or near the middle at maturity; seeds numerous, small, terete, trigonous, or lenticular, the surface reticulate or striate.

2022年10月14日 · Capsule = a dry, dehiscent, multicarpellate fruit. As shown in Figure 22.2 G-I, if it opens along the sutures it is called a septicidal capsule (example: Yucca). If it opens at the locules, a loculicidal capsule (example: Populus, Lagerstroemia).

8. FRUITS. Loculicidal capsules, crustose, bright-colored, imitating berries to attract dispersers (most likely birds). The overall fruit morphology is taxonomically relevant for Dichorisandra, Elasis, and Siderasis. In Dichorisandra, the shape, ornamentation, and

Fruit a dry loculicidal capsule, with many black angular seeds. Distribution About 22 species in Africa, the Mediterranean region and southern Asia, three species in tropical Africa.

Fruit an elongate loculicidal capsule. About thirteen species in tropical Asia, one of which extends to tropical Africa. Other species are cultivated for their edible fruits.
