Description

Genus Nothapodytes Blume

Fig. 20.1–20.18

Description

FRUIT. Elliptical to almost oblong, asymmetrical at the apex, laterally compressed, red-black when mature. Epicarp strigose, with yellow simple hairs with granular ornamentation, shriveled when dry, revealing the underlying endocarp rugosities. Calyx persistent.

ENDOCARP. Cream to brown, elliptical to oblong in lateral view, lenticular to globose in transverse section. Channel surrounding the endocarp in the plane of symmetry. Apex asymmetrical in lateral view, with a subapical bulge; base symmetrical. Outer surface of the endocarp rugose, irregular. Vasculature of the endocarp resting between the rugosities. Primary vascular bundle positioned in the channel in the plane of symmetry or outside the endocarp wall. Endocarp wall composed of periclinally oriented cells. Locule surface smooth, not lacunate.
