The third photograph - would I be correct to say - that it is the immature fruit of G. wallichianum? It is when the flower has fertilised and the petals fall, while the style lengthens and thickens rapidly giving rise to the structure depicted in the third photograph, called the Rostrum (also called Cranesbill); at the base of the Rostrum are five fruit segments called mericarps, each containing one seed. Is this correct? I'm a little confused, can somebody please clarify my doubts. I have two more questions:
a) Does the third photograph (3) show the Rostrum and the mericarps? b) I read somewhere that elongate Schizocarp is typical of plants in the geranium family. Where or what is the Schizocarp in this photograph? (If somebody could help label the third photograph or explain the parts, I would be rather grateful!) I love trekking in our mountains and have special interest in their flora, I have studied biology till class 10 only, so please do be kind! Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from the experts!
