| Astelia has baccate fruits with small seeds suited to bird dispersal. |
| We are somewhat skeptical of the potential for crosses between baccate species and capsular species. |
| For yuccas, Addicott notes that the baccate species typically lose more seeds to yucca moth larvae than do the dry-fruited capsular yuccas. |
| The fruits are ordinarily dehiscent capsules, while some species have baccate fruits or nut-like fruits. |
| Fruits are occasionally baccate, usually capsular and sometimes winged or lobed, or indehiscent and dry or fleshy. |
