Cupule
A cupule is a fruit structure found in flowering plants in the family Fagaceae. It holds and protects the nut during its growth and maturation. In some genera (e.g. Lithocarpus, Quercus), it only partly encloses the single nut, while in others (e.g. Castanea, Fagus), it fully encloses the two or more nuts, and splits open at maturity into four valves to release the nuts.
