Dear colleagues:
Found in a US patent for a raspberry variety:
"Fruit that is uniformly conic in shape, glossy, with ***druplets*** evenly distributed around the berry".
Apparently also spelled "drupelets".
Many thanks,
Mauricio Gazitua

drupa y polidrupa
La frambuesa es un fruto de tipo polidrupa y, por lo tanto, está formado por numerosas drupas. En inglés estás drupas se llaman 'drupelets' pero en español siguen siendo drupas.

Richard Boulter
: Perhaps 'polidrupa'. A 'drupe' is clearly an individual fruit with a stone (olive) while 'drupelet' (also 'drupel' by Oxford English Dictionary) = component part of the entire fruit (sections of a raspberry). Cristina's refs are great but 'drupe' is not.

However, in Spanish, a druplet in a 'polidrupa' is called 'drupa'. In fact, the 'clearly individual fruit' in lots of berries are actually an aggregation of fruits. Thanks for the comments, Richard!
