Botanical berries

A botanical berry is a fruit that botanists (scientists who study plants) call a berry. But not all of these are the types of fruit that we usually call berries. In botany (the type of science that studies plants), a berry is a fleshy fruit without a drupe (the name scientists have for the big seed in the middle of a fruit) that comes from a single flower.[1]
