Editing Drupe (section)

==Examples==
Typical drupes include [[Apricot|apricots]], [[Olive|olives]], [[loquat]], [[Peach|peaches]], [[Plum|plums]], [[Cherry|cherries]], [[Mango|mangoes]], [[Pecan|pecans]], and [[Phyllanthus emblica|amlas]] (Indian gooseberries). <!-- (See the images below.) -->Other examples include sloe (''[[Prunus spinosa]]'') and ivy (''[[Hedera helix]]'').<ref>Clapham, A.R., Tutin, T.G. and Warburg, E.F. 1968.

The [[coconut]] is also a drupe, but the [[mesocarp]] is fibrous or dry (termed a ''husk''<ref name="Stern" />), so this type of fruit is classified as a simple dry, fibrous drupe. Unlike other drupes, the coconut seed is so large that it is unlikely to be dispersed by being swallowed by [[fauna (animals)|fauna]], but it can float extremely long distances—across oceans.

[[Bramble]] fruits such as the [[blackberry]] and the [[raspberry]] are aggregates of drupelets. <!-- rest of paragraph translated from French Wikipedia [[fr:drupe]] --> The fruit of blackberries and raspberries comes from a single flower whose [[pistil]] is made up of a number of free carpels. However, [[mulberry|mulberries]], which closely resemble blackberries, are not aggregate fruit, but are [[multiple fruit]]s, actually derived from bunches of [[catkin]]s, each drupelet thus belonging to a different flower.

Certain drupes occur in large clusters, as in the case of palm species, where a large array of drupes is found in a cluster. Examples of such large drupe clusters include [[Date palm|dates]], ''[[Jubaea chilensis]]''<ref>C. Michael Hogan. 2008.

Drupe-like "fruits" are also known in many [[gymnosperm]]s like [[cycad]]s, [[ginkgo]]s and some [[cypress]]es.<ref>{{cite journal |first1=D.L. |last1=Contreras |first2=I.A.P. |last2=Duijnstee |first3=S. |last3=Ranks |first4=C.R. |last4=Marshall |first5=C.V. |last5=Looy |date=February 2017 |title=Evolution of dispersal strategies in conifers: Functional divergence and convergence in the morphology of diaspores |journal=Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics |volume=24 |pages=93–117 |doi=10.1016/j.ppees.2016.11.002|doi-access=free |bibcode=2017PPEES..24...93C }}</ref>
