An alternative botanical term meaning the same as caulocarpic; producing fruit directly on the main stem.
From Greek 'kaulos' (stem) + 'karpos' (fruit) + '-ous' (adjective suffix). A variant form of 'caulocarpic' using the Latin-influenced '-ous' ending instead of '-ic'.
Scientists prefer '-carpic' over '-carpous' in modern botany, but older plant descriptions still use both—it's one of those cases where two technical words mean exactly the same thing because terminology evolved!
