(January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> An aril (pronounced / ˈærɪl /), also called an arillus, is a specialized outgrowth from a seed that partly or completely covers the seed . An arillode or false aril is sometimes distinguished: whereas an aril grows from the attachment point of the seed to the ovary (from the funiculus or hilum), an arillode forms from a different point on the seed coat . The term "aril" is sometimes applied to any fleshy appendage of the seed in flowering plants, such as the mace of the nutmeg seed . Arils and arillodes are often edible enticements that encourage animals to transport the seed, thereby assisting in seed dispersal . Pseudarils are aril - like structures commonly found on the pyrenes of Burseraceae species that develop from the mesocarp of the ovary . The fleshy, edible pericarp splits neatly in two halves, then falling away or being eaten to reveal a brightly coloured pseudaril around the black seed . </P> <P> The aril may create a fruit - like structure, called (among other names) a false fruit . False fruit are found in numerous Angiosperm taxa . The edible false of the longan, lychee and ackee fruits are highly developed arils surrounding the seed rather than a pericarp layer . Such arils are also found in a few species of gymnosperms, notably the yews and related conifers such as the lleuque and the kahikatea . Instead of the woody cone typical of most gymnosperms, the reproductive structure of the yew consists of a single seed that becomes surrounded by a fleshy, cup - like covering . This covering is derived from a highly modified cone scale . </P> <P> In European yew plants (Taxus baccata), the aril starts out as a small, green band at the base of the seed, then turns brown to red as it enlarges and surrounds the seed, eventually becoming fleshy and scarlet in color at maturity . The aril is attractive to fruit - eating birds and is non-toxic (all other parts of the yew are toxic, including the seed housed inside the aril . If the seed is crushed or breaks / splits in the stomach of a bird, animal or human it will result in poisoning), This serves to promote dispersal of the yew seed by birds, which digest the fleshy aril as a food source, and pass the seed out in their droppings . </P>

Aril is edible in which of the following fruits
