Hi,

I have some comments on fruit section

-term "legume" is currently  a direct instance of fruit. Do you think it 
should be placed as an instance of term "seed as dispersal unit", which 
is an instance of dehiscent fruit.
-do we need all the instances of (sort of attributes) of capsule, e.g. 
loculicidal, septicidal etc. I know the exclusion of "septifragal" will 
be difficult because of the following comment. Is there a way out?
-people may like to see "slilique" as a primary term compared to a 
synonym for "septifragal"
-a possible TPR violation..
	generic term gynoecium appears under floret and this may cause TPR 
violation because not all the fruit types develop from  "floret 
gynoecium" (newly coined term). It's only the "caryopsis" which develops 
from gynoecium in the floret. We need a resolution on this.

may be we need to pull back the relationship
fruit  develops from gynoecium

One such example is slilique appearing under floret..
