This fruit type of intermediate between dehiscent and indehiscent fruit. The fruit instead of dehiscing rather splits into number of segments, each containing one or more seeds. They are of following types:
(a) Cremocarp: Fruit develops from bicarpellary, syncarpous, inferior ovary and splitting into two one seeded segments known as mericarps. e.g., Coriander and Carrot.
(b) Carcerulus: Fruit develops from bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary and splitting into four one seeded segments known as nutlets. e.g., Leucas, Ocimum and Abutilon.
(c) Lomentum: The fruit is derived from monocarpellary, unilocularovary.Aleguminous fruit, constricted between the seeds to form a number of one seeded compartments that separate at maturity. e.g., Desmodium, Arachis and Mimosa.
(d) Regma: They develops from tricarpellary, syncarpous, superior, trilocular ovary and splits into one-seeded cocci which remain attached to carpophore. e.g., Ricinus and Geranium.

Special Inflorescence: The inflorescences other than racemose, cymose and mixed types are coming under the special type of inflorescence.
(a) Cyathium:
1. Cyathium inflorescence consists of small unisexual flowers enclosed by a common involucre which mimics a single flower. Male flowers are organised in a scorpioid manner.

2. The female flower is solitary and centrally located on a long pedicel. The male flower is represented only by stamens and the female flower is represented only by pistil.
3. Cyathium may be actinomorphic (Eg: Euphorbia) or zygomorphic (Eg: Pedilanthus). A nectar is present in involucre.
(b) Hypanthodium:
1. The receptacle is a hollow, globose structure consisting of unisexual flowers present on the inner wall of the receptacle.
2. The receptacle is closed except a small opening called ostiole which is covered by a series of bracts.
3. Male flowers are present nearer to the ostiole, female and neutral flowers found in a mixed manner from middle below. Eg: Ficus sps.
(c) Coenanthium: Circular disc like fleshy open receptacle that bears pistillate flowers at the center and staminate flowers at the periphery. Eg: Dorstenia.

Racemose Inflorescence: Main axis is of unlimited growth and flowers are arranged in acropetal succession. Opening of flowers is centripetal.

Main Axis Elongated: Axis of the inflorescence is elongated and flowers may be pedicellate or sessile.
Types:
1. Simple Raceme: Unbranched Main axis has pedicellate flowers. Eg: Mustard.

2. Spike: Unbranched Main axis with sessile flowers. Eg: Achyranthes.

3. Spikelet: Small spike is called spikelet. The inflorescence axis has bracts at the base called glumes. Each flower has bract (lemma) and bracteole (palea). Eg: Sorghum.

4. Catkin: Pendulous spikes with long, drooping axis bearing small unisexual or bisexual flowers Eg: Acalypha hispida.

5. Spadix: Fleshy or thickened central axis with many unisexual flowers is acropetal succession. Entire inflorescence is covered by a brightly I coloured bract called spathe. Eg: Colocasia.

7. Panicle: A branched raceme is called panicle or compound raceme. Eg: Neem.

Main AXIS Shortened: Inflorescence shows reduced growth of central axis.
1. Corymb: Shorter pedicellate flowers at the top and longer pedicellate flowers at the bottom of the inflorescence. All flowers appear at the same level. Eg: Caesalpinia.
Compound Corymb: A Branched corymb is called compound corymb. Eg: Cauliflower.

2. Umbel: Pedicellate flowers arise from tip of inflorescence axis from a common point. Eg: Allium cepa.
Compound umbel: It is a branched umbel. Each smaller unit is called umbellet. Eg:Daucus carota, Coriandrum sativum.

Main Axis Flattened:
1. Head: The main axis is a flattened group of sessile or subsessile flowers arising on the flattened receptacle forms a head inflorescence surrounded by involucre. Eg: Asteraceae.
2. Compound Head: In Lagasca mollis the inflorescence axis is branched and each branch bears ahead inflorescence.
Types:

A Multiple or composite fruit develops from the whole inflorescence along with its peduncle on which they are borne.
a) Sorosis: A fleshy multiple fruit which develops from a spike or spadix. The flowers fused together by their succulent perianth and at the same time, the axis bearing them become fleshy or juicy and the whole inflorescence forms a compact mass. Eg: Pineapple, Jackfruit, Mulberry
b) Syconus: A multiple fruit which develops from hypanthodium inflorescence. The receptacle develops further and converts into fleshy fruit which encloses a number of true- fruit or achenes which develops from female flower of hypanthodium inflorescence. Eg: Ficus
