Dry indehiscent single-seeded fruit formed from bicarpellary syncarpous inferior ovary is

  1. berry
  2. cremocarp
  3. caryopsis
  4. cypsella

Answer

(4) cypsella

Solution

Cypsella is a dry, indehiscent, one-seeded fruit developing from a bicarpellary, syncarpous, inferior ovary, e.g., sunflower (family Asteraceae).

∵ Berry is fleshy, cremocarp splits into two mericarps, and caryopsis develops from a superior monocarpellary ovary (wheat, maize),

∴ the fruit described is cypsella.
