AGGREGATE ACCESSORY FRUIT
 Fruit is derived from several ovaries of one flower and
other floral parts
 Example: strawberry

Note the elongated receptacle bearing

numerous distinct pistils that develop into
achenes.

As fruiting ensues, the individual achenes,

which do not change much in size, become
spatially isolated on the surface of the greatly
enlarged receptacle. The receptacle develops
into the edible fleshy body of the strawberry
