Individual fruitlets are red at first, then turn brown upon maturity.

This discoloration can spread throughout the fruit. Extensive corking is what results in leathery pocket. In a healthy plant, fruitlets join together to produce one large fruit. Interfruitlet corking occurs when these fruitlets develop incorrectly and grow together unevenly.

Pedicel CSA in fruitlets destined to abscind declined once symptoms of pending abscission became apparent.

Fruitlets drupaceous, with woody endocarp and spongy exocarp, swollen, with a short subventral beak, smooth or with tubercles or spines.

D. spinosa lacks milk sap, has hairless, more or less oval leaves with spines that often enclose the stem at base, and the swollen, eventually woody segments of the receptacle containing the fruitlets lack spines. D. carnosa has milk sap, elliptic to linear, variably tomentose leaves, and the swollen and eventually woody segments of the receptacle containing the fruitlets are spiny. Two varieties are distinguished. D. carnosa var.

Fruitlets achenial, longitudinally 5-ribbed (3 dorsal ribs and 2 closely approximated ventral ribs), with a short, apical beak. 2n=16. Variable in form according to ecological conditions.

In Didelta, the centre of the head is taken by 3–5 clusters of bisexual yolk yellow disc florets, sometimes divided from each other by male disc florets, and is surrounded by one complete whorl of infertile yolk yellow ray florets. The common base of the flowerhead swells around the developing fruitlets, become woody and breaks into segments when ripe. The fruitlets germinate within this woody encasing. The species of the genus Didelta can be found in Namibia and South Africa.

Cuspidia cernua has bristle-like pappus on top of the fruitlets and the fruiting head remains intact, while both Didelta-species have chaffy pappus and the fruiting head breaks into several triangular segments when ripe.
|
|
Carpels 6–15 in an irregular whorl, free, each with 1 ovule; styles apical. Fruitlets achenial, longitudinally many-ribbed, with a short apical beak. 2n = 42. Floating water plantain Luronium natans showing stoloniferous habit Characteristic 'ladder' venation pattern of submerged leaves.

Fruits are found in three main anatomical categories: aggregate fruits, multiple fruits, and simple fruits. Aggregate fruits are formed from a single compound flower and contain many ovaries or fruitlets. Examples include raspberries and blackberries. Multiple fruits are formed from the fused ovaries of multiple flowers or inflorescence.

The breeder Georges Delbard chose this cultivar out of his 1,200 crossings of apple cultivars that he had accomplished, to celebrate with it his 80th birthday and the 50th year of his nursery. According to a quote in the "Guide of Apples" website, he said: Fruitlets of 'Delbard Jubilée' on tree.

Adults are extremely variable in colour and forewing pattern. In both sexes the forewings are often walnut brown, but vary from dark brown (almost black) to a pale fawn, and have a variety of colour combinations.PaDIL Species Factsheet The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including avocado to which they can cause significant damage to young fruitlets and terminal shoots.

Aggregate or compound fruits contain seeds from different ovaries of a single flower, with the individual "fruitlets" joined together at maturity to form the complete fruit. Examples of aggregate fruits commonly called "berries" include members of the genus Rubus, such as blackberry and raspberry. Other large aggregate fruits, such as soursop (Annona muricata), are not usually called "berries", although some sources do use this term.

Psylla pyri damages pear trees by sucking the plant sap; leaves are yellowed and distorted and flower buds and fruitlets are shed. The excess honeydew produced by the insects coats the leaves, covering up the stomata, and encourages the growth of sooty mould. The size of fruit is decreased and tree growth is diminished. Honeydew can cause discolouration of fruit, leading to its being downgraded.

There are several different kinds of fruits which are commonly called berries, but are not botanical berries. Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are kinds of aggregate fruit; they contain seeds from different ovaries of a single flower. In aggregate fruits like blackberries, the individual "fruitlets" making up the fruit can be clearly seen. The fruits of blackthorn may be called "sloe berries", but botanically are small stone fruits or drupes, like plums or apricots.

Adjacent each of the outer involucral bracts, several florets are fertile, and the surrounding parts of the common base of all florets in the head (or receptacle) swell and eventually become woody. The receptacle breaks up at maturity, each section corresponding with one of the persistent outer bracts. These segments break free from the parent plant and act as the dispersal units. The ribbed, flask- shaped, more or less curved fruitlets germinate inside the protective encasement of the woody segments.

The extract contains quassin and neoquassin, which have insecticidal properties. The extract can be used to spray fruitlets, shortly after cease blooming. Insecticidal effects are comparable to the insecticide diazinon. If the extract is sprayed before apple sawfly larvae hatched, Hoplocampa infestation can be reduced with an efficacy of 50%. Q.amara extract in the dosage corresponding to 3-4.5 kg of Q. amara wood chips for 1/ha is optimal. The bitter wood can be dried after boiling and be reused 2 to 3 times.

This shrub can grow to 60 cm tall, with flat leaves that alternate up its stem. Leaves of the desert lantern can grow to 1.5 – 6 cm long and are narrow to circular, hairy and toothed. The flowers are yellow, with 5 petals, borne singly on stalks originating at the bases of the leaves, often appearing clustered at the ends of the stems. The desert lantern differs from dwarf lantern flower (Abutilon fraseri) and plains lantern-bush (Abutilon halophilum) in that the petals are about the same length as the calyx, and from velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) in that the tops of the fruitlets in the fruiting body have very short points.
