An accessory fruit (sometimes called false fruit, spurious fruit, or pseudocarp)
is a fruit in which some of the flesh is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel. Examples of accessory tissue are the receptacle of
strawberries, figs, or mulberries, and the calyx of Gaultheria procumbens or Syzygium jambos.
