| 11. | The cones are large, soft-shelled and nutritious and fall intact to the ground beneath the tree before dehiscing.
|
| 12. | The anthers dehisce, releasing the pollen, and the flower is then withdrawn below the water where the fruit develops.
|
| 13. | The pods turn black with age and dehisce explosively to release their four to six seeds away from the parent plant.
|
| 14. | Each fruit consists of two to five one-seeded segments, each of which dehisce into two valves upon maturity.
|
| 15. | This dioecious species produces a globose, green fruit some 12cm in diameter, dehiscing along a line about 2cm from its base.
|
| 16. | Although similar in appearance to " Hibiscus ", " Kosteletzkya " typically bears more flattened capsules that dehisce loculicidally.
|
| 17. | The tree crown is open, with low vertical dehisce after drying, releasing 25 to 30 seeds that are easily dispersed by wind.
|
| 18. | It dehisces ( splits open ) laterally, to reveal pear shaped, dark brown seeds, with a brown aril ( appendage ).
|
| 19. | The fruit is many-seeded capsule which usually dehisces via a suture across the apex; often the capsule is roughly heart-shaped.
|
| 20. | Brown does introduce one important concept, however : his division of the Proteaceae into two subfamilies based on whether or not the fruit dehisces.
