Follicle
n botany, a Follicle is a dry unilocular many-seeded Fruit formed from one carpel and dehiscing by the ventral suture in order to release Seeds, such as in larkspur, magnolia, banksia, peony and milkweed.
It is rare to meet with a solitary Follicle forming the fruit. There are usually several aggregated together, either in a whorl on a shortened receptacle, as in hellebore, aconite, larkspur, columbine or the Family Crassulaceae, or in a spiral manner on an elongated receptacle, as in Magnolia and Banksia. Occasionally, Follicles dehisce by the dorsal suture, as in Magnolia grandiflora and Banksia.
Follicle, a form of fruit placed by Lindley in his Class Apocarpi. It differs from the legume in having but one valve instead of two. A flower of Nigella, or one of Delphinium, produces several such Follicles. In anatomy, a Follicle is a minute secreting bag, which commonly opens upon a mucous membrane; a simple gland. It is called also a crypt or lacuna.
