The fruits of Lauraceae are drupes, one-seeded fleshy fruit with a hard layer, the endocarp, surrounding the seed.
32.
The legume's endocarp is attached to the exocarp, but is otherwise very variable, and may be dehiscent or indehiscent.
33.
Many of the fruits show irregular folds on the nutlet, that Wolfe and Tanai suggested were the result of a thin endocarp.
34.
From the endocarp, string-like " hairs " extend into the locules, which provide nourishment to the fruit as it develops.
35.
The nature of the endocarp distinguishes a berry from a drupe, which has a hardened or stony endocarp ( see also below ).

37.
All that remain are pollen from lake beds, hollow endocarps ( nuts ) found in a cave, and casts of root bosses.
38.
Colored green, white, brown, pink or red, the fruit carries one seed which usually takes the shape of the endocarp.
39.
It resembles " Stephania reticulata " but " S . crebra " has larger flowers but smaller drupes and endocarps.
40.
Each seed is contained in a hard woody brown endocarp with several longitudinal ribs on its inside corresponding to longitudinal intrusions in the seed surface.
