In cypsela, fruit wall is free from testa and a typical feature of the fruit is the presence of a pappus having a crown of hair like processes which helps in wind-dispersal. The fruit develops from bicarpellary, syncarpous, interior ovary having a single basal ovule.
Capsule is a simple dry many seeded dehiscent fruit developing from a multi-carpellary syncarpous ovary.
In a drupe, the pericarp or fruit wall is differentiated into thin epicarp (skin) fleshy mesocarp and stony endocarp.
Berry is a fleshy fruit in which there is no hard part except the seeds. Pericarp may be differentiated into epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp. One or other of these layers may form pulp in which seeds are embedded which generally gets detached from the placenta.
