FRUITS
FRUITS FROM MORE THAN ONE OVARY
Multiple fruits are derived from ovaries of several flowers. An example you would be familiar with would be a pineapple. An example of a native plant would be the fused double berry of Lonicera.
An aggergrate fruit develops from the carpels of a single flower. An example would be the blackberry (Rubus).
