Lomentum is a dry, many seeded fruit develops from monocarpellary, superior, unilocular ovary with marginal placentation. The fruit arises just like a legume but when ripened, it becomes pardoned between seeds into single seeded mericarps. e.g., in Acacia arabica, Mimosa, Dalbergia sissoo (Indian red wood tree). Such fruits are categorized under Schizocarpic or splitting fruits.
