- A collective, composite or aggregated fruit formed from an entire inflorescence, as in the sorosis of a pineapple or the syconus of a fig.
- A fruit resulting from many flowers, such as the pineapple; a fruit of which the perianth or the torus forms part.
- A composite false fruit, consisting of the actual fruit and the perianth.
