Abstract
Dehiscence is the processs of opening in anthers. spore cases and dry fruits. The dry fruit described here is capsule. When one speaks of capsule dehiscence, four types are considered: (1) pericidal dehiscence - by pores at the species of carpels; (2) loculicidal dehiscence - lengthwise along the middle of each carpel; (3) septicidal dehiscence - lengthwise along the lines of adjoining carpels; and (4) circcuascissile dehiscence - along a circular line perpendicular to the main axis. It is the first type of dehiscence with which this study is concerned
