Ixioliriaceae

Fruit dehiscentdehiscent:
(v. dehisce) splitting open at maturity to release contents (of a fruit)
, loculicidalloculicidal:
type of capsular dehiscence, opening longitudinally through the locules (compare septicidal)
capsulecapsule:
a dry, dehiscent fruit formed by two or more carpels
, opening at apexapex:
the point farthest from the point of attachment, or the "tip" of an organ
, 10 mm long, oblongoblong:
2D shape—much longer than broad with nearly parallel sides, corners are rounded
or wedge shaped, tereteterete:
approximately circular in cross section; width and thickness approximately equal
or triangulartriangular:
2D shape—three relatively straight sides with distinct corners; more angular than teardrop-shaped
in transectiontransection:
a cross section; representing a plane made by cutting across an organ at a right angle to its length
, stylar remnantsstylar remnants:
remnant of a style
persistent, many seeded. Pericarppericarp:
fruit wall or fruit coat
brown, ribbedribbed:
surface relief—wide, prominent, linear ridges that are generally rounded and longitudinally situated on the surface
or striatestriate:
surface relief—having fine, parallel lines, grooves or ridges
.

Seed oblongoblong:
2D shape—much longer than broad with nearly parallel sides, corners are rounded
to teardrop-shapedteardrop-shaped:
2D shape—widest point is toward one end of the fruit, the other end tapers sharply to a pointed end
, slightly curvedcurved:
(of embryo) linear embryo is curved into an arch or horseshoe with the ends far apart
, beakedbeaked:
a usually firm, terminal appendage, sometimes tapered
or pointed at one end. Seed coat black, with phytomelanphytomelan:
carbonaceous, opaque material that usually covers the seed coat to give it a black appearance, common in certain monocot families
, reticulatereticulate:
surface relief—netted, raised walls or concave grooves forming a net-like surface pattern with flat, concave, or convex interspaces
.

Embryo fusiformfusiform:
spindle-shaped; broadest at the middle and tapering at both ends
, straight, nearly as long as endospermendosperm:
nutritive starch- and oil-containing tissue present in many seeds
. Endospermendosperm:
nutritive starch- and oil-containing tissue present in many seeds
present.
