cupule

The cupule at the base of the berry, can be more brightly colored.

A cupule is a small structure shaped like a cup, including:

The fruit is a small cupule containing three seeds.

Its length is half covered by the cupule.

The cupule holds and protects the fruit during its growth and maturation.

The cupule is covered by numerous scales.

Each cupule contains one ovoid shiny dark brown nut that is edible.

In botany: the base of an acorn, see calybium and cupule.

In Lithocarpus, the cupule is very hard and bone-like in texture.

It develops from an inferior ovary, meaning it is initially encased in the future cupule.

Cupule (disambiguation)

The fruit is a densely spiny cupule containing usually three sweet, edible nuts, eaten by the indigenous peoples.

Placing a baby's umbilical stump inside a cupule and covering it with stones was meant to bestow health and longevity to the child.

The calybium and the cupule make up the accessory fruit of flowering plants in the family Fagaceae.

The fruit is a golden-colored cupule 2-3 cm in diameter with many sharp spines, maturing in autumn.

It usually contains a single seed (rarely two seeds), enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule.

Runcaria, small and radially symmetrical, is an integumented megasporangium surrounded by a cupule.

The fruits are oblong berries which are covered by a cup-shaped cupule where they join the peduncle, giving them an appearance similar to an acorn.

Each seed is enclosed by a very hard fruitcase, consisting of a cupule or depression in the rachis and a tough lower glume.

The fruit is a densely spiny cupule 4-8 cm diameter, containing two or three glossy brown nuts; these are 2-3 cm diameter on wild trees.

The staminate flowers mature from green to yellow, triangular in bud, with three sepals fused into a lobed cupule and three valvate petals.

The idea of having a house with a cupule for a roof was in his mind since the first Dream Chronicles, so this was the perfect opportunity to use it again.

The calybium (nut) resembles a pointed acorn; the cupule (casing) is hard like that of beechnuts and spiny like that of chestnuts.

The acorns are 1-2 centimeters (0.75 in) long, and about one-third to one-half enclosed by a cap or cup (cupule); they mature in September, turning from green to golden brown.

In other extinct taxa, a cupule (a modified leaf or part of a leaf) surrounds the ovule (e.g. Caytonia or Glossopteris).
