Talk:Anacardium

Etymology
Added etymology from the Cashew article. Not sure if it's correct, as sources both differ and conflict in the etymology of anacardium. Ana- sometimes meaning "without", other times "upwards".


 * "the fruit of this plant being thought to resemble the heart of a bird"
 * "from the heartlike shape of the top of the fruit stem"
 * "referring to how the pulp of the fruit has the nut growing outside of it rather than inside"
 * "refers to the shape of the fruit, which looks like an inverted heart"
 * "because the pulp of the fruit, instead of having the seed enclosed, has the nut growing out at the end of it"
