| The aril is a growth from the extremity of the seed-stalk, or from the placenta when there is no seed-stalk. |
| The fruits are follicles with seeds having an aril that is attractive to ants and other seed dispersers. |
| The other is a red, web-like seed membrane called an aril and is sold as the spice mace. |
| The seeds are residually separated and when they come to maturity, the fruit is covered in a fleshy red membrane known as an aril. |
| The seeds are attached to a durable fruit casing by a cord with a fleshy outgrowth, or aril, at its base that bats find appetizing. |
| When fully mature it splits in two, exposing a crimson-coloured aril, the mace, surrounding a single shiny, brown seed, the nutmeg. |
