Sentences with SARCOCARP (5)
Among the eighty or ninety species of palm-trees peculiar to the New Continent, which I have enumerated in the Nova Genera Plantarum Aequinoctialum, there are none in which the sarcocarp is developed in a manner so extraordinary.
From the human standpoint the pulp, or sarcocarp, as it is scientifically called, is rather an annoyance, as it must be removed in order to procure the beans.
The second way is called the wet method; the sarcocarp is removed by machine, and two wet, slimy seed packets are obtained.
But more commonly only two portions of a drupe are distinguished, and are named, the outer one _Sarcocarp_ or _Exocarp_, for the flesh, the first name referring to the fleshy character, the second to its being an external layer; and _Putamen_ or _Endocarp_, the _Stone_, within.
These layers are well seen in such a fruit as the peach, plum or cherry, where they are separable one from the other; in them the epicarp forms what is commonly called the skin; the mesocarp, much developed, forms the flesh or pulp, and hence has sometimes been called _sarcocarp_; while the endocarp, hardened by the production of woody cells, forms the _stone_ or _putamen_ immediately covering the kernel or seed.
