A silicle, is a short and broad silique, as in shepherds purse (Capsella). Both types are characteristic of plants in the mustard family.

When the length is less than three times the width of the dried fruit it is referred to as a silicle. The outer walls of the ovary usually separate when ripe, leaving a persistent partition called as replum.
