This plane or blunt portion is characteristic and the pitch of the plane of this blunt portion is often almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fruit, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, or the blunt portion may be inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the fruit as shown in Fig. 3.
