Sweet Gum capsules - Liquidambar styraciflua
- Color
- Richard Rauh
The fruit clusters of Liquidambar are multiples, coming from the many flowers in an inflorescence. Each dry fruit is a two-parted capsule, and a ring of tissue circles each one like a necklace. This kind of detail is difficult to see unless as I did, you study the fruit for a while. I chose to blowup the image to let everyone see.
