Source of berry for persimmon fruit:

1)  Fernald. M.L.  1950.  Gray's manual of Botany, 8th ed.  
American Book Co., New York.  p.1145 where it gives the fruit 
of the family Ebenaceae as a fruit.

2)  Radford, A.E., H.E. Ahles & C.R. Bell.  1968.  Manual of 
the vascular fora of the Carolinas.  The University of North 
Carolina Press, Chapel Hill.  p.845 in the species description 
for Diospyros virginiana L.

3)  Smith, Jr., J.P.  1977.  Vascular plant families, an 
introduction to the families of vascular plants native to North 
America and selected families of ornamental or economic 
importance.  Mad River Press, Eureka, CA.  p.116 in synopsis of 
the Ebenaceae.

And it will be in any flora of an area where persimmon grows, 
such as Britton and Brown, Cronquists revision of it, etc.  Any 
treatment of the phylogeny of vascular plants that has a 
synopsis of the families will include the various fruit types 
found in that family.  The sources are legion.  Take your pick.

A long time ago in, I believe, this newsgroup, someone posted a reference 
to a book identified as: "Flood's Seed Identification Manual Handbook, 
Cambridge, UK"  I have been trying without success to track down this 
volume. Can anyone reading this supply me with a more complete 
bibliographic citation (and possibly an ISBN)?

I would be grateful for any leads or assistance.

Many thanks,
      Alwynne

Ok, I finally got into the catalog of The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology - is this it?

	National Institute of Agricultural Botany
	  Seed identification handbook.  Cambridge, 1986. 72 p. x-78-037201-7

no Flood, no where, so far.  Are there archives for this group?
