It is generally of a globular or oval figui'e, as in most varieties of the apple, but sometimes it is inversely coni- cal, as in the pear. At the apex it is marked with a small cavity, surrounded by the re- mains of the calyx, which is persistent, or in the language of other botanists, adherent; this cavity is the umbilicus, or eye of the fruit; at the base there is often also a small cavity foimed by the expansion of the pome, around the in- sertion of the foot stalk, which has not received any particular name; in the pear, the pome tapers down gradually to the point of insertion, and renders the cavity less distinct. The en- closed capsule is a thin and membranaceous sub- stance, consisting, for the most part, of five dis- tinct cells. The berrj/ is a soft and pulpy pericarp, contain- ing one or more seeds, but not separating into regu- lar valves, nor enclosing a capsule. It is exempli- fied in the common goose- berry, currant, and straw- berry. It is not, however, always strictly succulent, for in the ivy it is of a dry and mealy nature, and in trientalis, it is covered with a sort of brittle crust. The same may be said of the gourd, melon, and cucumbei-, together with the lemon, and orange, which though regarded by botanists as being varieties of the berry, are yet covered with a thick coat or rind, which is not pulpy. The seed vessel of cucurbitaceous plants is even distinguished by the peculiar name oipeps, and characterized by having its seeds situated remote from the axis, and inserted into the sides of the fruit; the fig- ure of the berry is for the most part globular, as in vaccinium, but in the strawberry it is oval. In daphne, it is one seeded, in asparagus it
