| | Drupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Drupes, with their sweet, fleshy outer layer, attract the attention of animals as a food, and the plant population benefits from the resulting dispersal of its seeds. | | | Unlike other drupes, the coconut seed is unlikely to be dispersed by being swallowed by fauna, due to its large size. | | | The endocarp (pit or stone) is often swallowed, passing through the digestive tract, and returned to the soil in feces with the seed inside unharmed; sometimes it is dropped after the fleshy part is eaten. |

| | Almond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is a tree of moderate size; the leaves are lanceolate, and serrated at the edges; and it flowers early in spring. | | | The tree is probably a native of southwest Asia and north Africa, but has been so extensively cultivated for so long over the warm temperate regions of the Old World that its original natural distribution is obscure. | | | It is classified with the peach in the Subgenus Amygdalus within Prunus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. |

| | Fruit Identification Outline |
| | The coconut is considered a dry drupe with a green, waterproof outer layer (exocarp), a thick, buoyant, fibrous husk (mesocarp) and a hard, woody, inner layer (endocarp) surrounding the large seed. | | | After fertilization, the flower stalk of the peanut curves downward, and the developing fruit (legume) is forced into the ground by the proliferation and elongation of cells under the ovary. | | | The actual seed embryo is embedded in the coconut meat (endosperm). |

| | Although it is productive, its flowering period is average and there are a number of faults in the harvest due to blossom deterioration. | | | Harvesting is expensive as the drupe is large and resists picking. | | | It is of average size and weight (about 3 grams), but has a high oil yield, about 19% and a high flesh-to-pit ratio (5). |

| | The druplets are quite distinct: each is formed from a single ovary, and the whole thing is an 'aggregate fruit' or etaerio, because it is formed from a flower with several distinct ovaries in each flower. | | | Almonds, on the other hand, are the seeds from inside the endocarp of a fluffy green plum: here we eat the seeds themselves, and chuck the fruit away. | | | Drupes, like this peach (Prunus persica), have three distinct layers: a skin (exocarp), here downy, a fleshy mesocarp (the bit you eat), and a rock hard stone (endocarp) that protects the seeds from overenthusiastic consumers: fruit are designed to get seeds distributed alive. |

| | Upon removing this opposable digit, the drupe, having been thrust through, yet clung to his extremity. | | | He (the boy) introduced one of his opposable digits into the pastry dish, violating its seal, and impaled, javelin-like, a globular smooth-skinned drupe (i.e., a one-seeded indehiscent fruit having a hard, bony endocarp, a fleshy mesocarp, and a thin and [in this case] flexible epicarp). | | | The boy, obviously quite pleased with himself for having executed so flawlessly this dazzling display of eye/hand coodination, proceeded to verbally pat himself on the back. |
