<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''compound fruit''' is one that develops from several [[ovary (plants)|ovaries]] in either a single [[flower]] or multiple flowers. Conversely, a '''simple fruit''' develops from one ovary.<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[image:Longitudinal_section_of_raspberry_flower.gif]]<br /> <br /> *Compound fruits may be '''[[aggregate fruit]]s''', in which one flower contains several ovaries which each develop into a small fruit. These small fruits are joined tightly together to make a larger fruit. An example of this is a [[raspberry]]. Each fleshy lobe in a raspberry is actually an individual fruit, but they are joined at their bases. Despite having the suffix &quot;[[berry]],&quot; aggregates cannot be berries, which are composed of a single ovary.<br /> *Compound fruits may also be '''[[multiple fruit]]s''', in which several flowers, each with an ovary, develop into small fruits which are clustered or fused together into a larger fruit. An example of this is a [[pineapple]]. Each section of a pineapple was an individual fruit from an individual flower, but they have fused to form the pineapple. Another example is the [[fig]].<br /> <br /> [[Grape]]s grow in clusters, but they are not compound fruits. Each grape grew from one ovary in one flower, and each grape remains an independent fruit.<br /> <br /> ==A List of Compound Fruits==<br /> * [[Raspberry]] <br /> * [[Pomegranates]]<br /> * [[Pineapples]]<br /> <br /> {{fruits}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: plant morphology]]<br /> [[Category:Fruit| types01 compound fruit]]</div>
