Comment
The pericarp (PO:0009084) can be expanded laterally or radially. The wing-shaped fruits of maples (Acer spp.) are often mistakenly identified as samara fruits (PO:0030099), but are instead schizocarp fruits (PO:0030098) with samaroid mericarps (PO:0020075).
Examples: green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanicum) and tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima).
