Partridge Berry

Fort Lee, Virginia

The "eyes" on the fruit of the Partridge Berry represent the places where two flowers were once inserted. The interesting thing is that, whereas most fruits are produced from a single flower, this fruit represents the contribution from two separate flowers towards a single "compound" fruit.
