Cypsela develops from an inferior ovary, it contains extra tissues around the true pericarp Cypsela: It is a small, single-seeded dry fruit which develops from bi-carpellary, syncarpous inferior ovary. Pericarp and seed coat are free from each other. A dry, indehiscent fruit derived from an inferior, bicarpellate ovary; e.g., in Asteraceae (sunflower). Similar to an achene, but derived from an inferior ovary and attached to the fruit wall throughout, i.e., not at a single place as in an achene. Caryopsis are dry, indehiscent, the small single-seeded fruit develops from unilocular single ovule, superior ovary of the multi carpellary gynoecium. It differs from typical achenes as their pericarp is completely fused with the seed coat or testa, eg, Poaceae. Cremocarp is bilocular and two seeded schizocarpic fruits (small, dry) developed from the inferior ovary of bis carpellary, syncarpous gynoecium possessing persistent stylopodium, eg, Apiaceae.
