Describing a plant that produces red or reddish fruit or seed pods.
From Greek 'erythros' (red) combined with 'karpos' meaning 'fruit,' plus the adjectival suffix '-ous.' Used in botanical descriptions since the 19th century.
Erythrocarpous is the botanical way of saying 'this plant makes red berries'—it's the kind of word that turns up in plant identification guides when describing species like rowan berries or certain dogwoods with their brilliant scarlet fruits.
