Characteristics of Fruits
- A one-seeded fruit has a thickened hard pericarp, and the seed is attached to the fruit wall
- The pericarp is marked by the remains of the style and stigma, indicating whether the fruit is superior or inferior
Microscopic Characteristics

- Aleurone grains contain micro rosette crystals of calcium oxalate
Capsicum
Origin
- Dried ripe fruits of Capsicum minimum
- Family Solanaceae
