Heliconiaceae

Fruit schizocarp, splits into three fleshyfleshy:
texture—fairly firm and dense, juicy or at least moist, and easily cut
mericarps (often interpreted as drupes), 7–21 mm long, squaresquare:
2D shape—geometric figure bounded by 4 straight sides of equal length and 4 90º-angles
to trigonoustrigonous:
3D shape—having three faces that meet at distinct angles; triangular in outline
, angledangled:
2D shape—having sides that meet at acute or obtuse angles  
in transectiontransection:
a cross section; representing a plane made by cutting across an organ at a right angle to its length
, each mericarpmericarp:
a one-seeded section (carpel) of a schizocarp, as in Apiaceae fruits (compare schizocarp)
with operculate single-seeded thick-walled stone. Pericarppericarp:
fruit wall or fruit coat
usually blue, sometimes red, orange or yellow, thinthin:
having or being of relatively little depth
, smooth, sometimes pubescentpubescent:
surface relief—bearing hairs
.

Seed triangulartriangular:
2D shape—three relatively straight sides with distinct corners; more angular than teardrop-shaped
, with an operculumoperculum:
a dehiscent cap (or lid) of a seed or fruit that opens during germination or dehiscence
but no micropylar collarmicropylar collar:
collar shaped tissue at micropyle
, 10–17 mm long. Seed coat hard, ridgedridged:
surface relief—raised, thick ridges, sharp edged or rounded, usually in a series that may cover the entire surface
, pittedpitted:
surface relief—surface with small depressions in which the areas between the hollows do not take on the appearance of a true reticular net
, or wartywarty:
surface relief—distinct, rounded projections that are large relative to the fruit size; tuberculate, verrucose
, with a larger than punctatepunctate:
surface relief—dotted with pits or with translucent, sunken glands or with colored dots, similar to pitted
hilumhilum:
on seeds, the scar indicating where the funiculus was attached; on grass caryopses, the scar visible on the outer caryopsis surface revealing where the seed is attached on the inner fruit wall surface; or in Asteraceae cypselae, the scar visible on the pericarp revealing where the fruit was attached to the receptacle
.

Embryo well developed, foliatefoliate:
appearing leaf-like
or linearlinear:
(shape) long, narrow, and uniform in width; (of embryo) embryo is straight and much longer than wide
, straight, basalbasal:
at or pertaining to the point of attachment; (of embryo) embryo occupies one end of the seed
, embedded in nutritive tissuenutritive tissue:
tissue within the seeds that nourishes the developing embryo; such as endosperm, perisperm, or chalazosperm in angiosperms; megagametophyte in gymnosperms
, sometimes acotyledonous. Endospermendosperm:
nutritive starch- and oil-containing tissue present in many seeds
copious, thinthin:
having or being of relatively little depth
perispermperisperm:
seed nutritive tissue comparable to the endosperm, but derived from the nucellus (maternal tissue)
also present.
