- semina ideo semper vere parietalia, sed nunc placentae parieti contiguae nunc septi angulo interno adfixa plurima, parvula (DeCandolle), the seeds for this reason are truly parietal, but sometimes contiguous to the wall of the placenta, sometimes attached to the inner angle of the septum, very many, rather small.

- bacca ovata, in collum apice attenuata et ideo lagenaeformis (DeCandolle), the berry ovate narrowed at the apex into a neck, and consequently flask-shaped.
