Edwards Bot. in Encycl. Metrop. (1845) VII. 49 Compound fruits or syncarps. 1875 A. W. Bennett & W. T. T. Dyer tr. J. von Sachs Text-bk. Bot. 537 Starting from the definition that a fruit is always the product of a single ripe ovary, it follows that several fruits may arise from one flower... The ripe gynæceum has in such cases been termed a multiple fruit, but it would be much better to apply to it the term Syncarp. Thus..the..fruits..of Ranunculus or Clematis or..of Pæonia or Helleborus, form together a syncarp... The syncarp must not be confounded with the pseudocarp resulting from an entire inflorescence, as in..the mulberry and fig..or the pine-apple.
