Palm Tree Fruit
The Palm tree fruit is various in form, size and character; sometimes, as in the common date it is a berry with a fleshy rind enclosing a hard stony kernel, the true seed; the fruit of Areca is similar; sometimes it is a kind of drupe as in Acrccomia, or the coconut, Cocos nucif era, where the fibrous central portion investing the hard shell corresponds to the fleshy portion of a plum or cherry, while the shell or nut corresponds to the stone of stone-fruits, the seed being the kernel. In Borassus the three seeds are each enclosed in a separate chamber formed by the stony endocarp. Sometimes, as in the species of Metroxylon, Raphia, Daemonorops, &c,, the fruit is covered with hard, pointed, reflexed shining scales, which give it a very remarkable appearance.
