	Capsule (fruit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A capsule is a dehiscent structure composed of two or more carpels, that, at maturity, split apart (dehisce) to release the seeds within.
		Capsules are sometimes mislabeled as nuts, as in the example of the Brazil nut or the Horse-chestnut.
		A capsule is not a nut because it releases its seeds and it splits apart.

	Capsule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In botany, a capsule is another term for the sporangium of mosses and hornworts.
		Capsules, meaning a metal cap or cover on bottles and jars as on wine bottles, were historically made of lead, and protected the cork from being gnawed away by rodents or infested with cork weevil.
		In anatomy, the term capsule is used to denote a cover or envelope partly or wholly surrounding a structure.

		[The legume fruit is composed of a single carpel and does not have the central partition or septum.] This is the typical fruit of the mustard family (Cruciferae or Brassicaceae).
		Capsules may split open along the locules (loculicidal), along the septa (septicidal), through pores (poricidal), or the entire top of the capsule separates as a single lid-like section (circumscissle).

		Examine the fruit of any species and it is likely, with perhaps a bit more knowledge about the ecosystem, to at least intelligently speculate on what these adptations are in that plant.
		Eventually, the seedling separates from the fruit, leaving its cotyledons behind, and—floating horizontally on the water surface—is carried away by tidal or river flow.
		Adaptations commonly seen in littoral plants are those that promote floatation of the fruit, allowing the seed to be carried away on the tide or ocean currents.
