A melon or fruit that ripens and detaches from its vine automatically when mature.
From Greek 'autos' (self) + 'melon' (apple/fruit). A botanical term describing self-releasing fruit mechanisms.
Some melons evolved automelon traits so they'd naturally fall when ripe—this helped seeds spread farther since animals would carry the fruit away from the parent plant.
