| The dry seed was elongated along the main axis, with an elaiosome at the former placental end and revolute margins folded under the seed. |
|
| The enlarged, fleshy, white funicles of the neotropical Chrysothemis friedrichsthaliana are rich in fatty oil and serve as a kind of elaiosome in ant dispersal. |
|
| The fruit contains numerous subglobose seeds which are round and swollen with a hard coat, sometimes with an attached elaiosome. |
|
| Further observations suggest that the seed damage occurs primarily to the seed elaiosome and secondarily impacts the seed coat. |
