Hi experts=2C  =3B I would like to know how to name parts of a fruit. I took some photos of Zantedeschia cultivar's single fruit and a seed. The seed is connected with the fruit body by placenta. Is (are?) placenta the "connecting cable" visible in the single seed photo? The placenta can be basal=2C parietal and other. What type are they in Zantedeschia?  =3B Where can I find aroid fruits' drawings or photos with the detail names?  =3B Best=2C Marek  =3B  =3B  =3B --_273a5c50-51c0-408d-a6ae-239e41817848_----===============0612006369207465875==
