A loment (or lomentum) is a type of dehiscent [1] legume fruit that breaks apart at constrictions occurring between segments, so that each segment contains only one seed. [2] It is a type of schizocarp. [1]
Tick trefoil ( Desmodium) and sweet vetch ( Hedysarum) are two genera that exhibit this fruit type, which is found particularly in the tribe Hedysareae of the family Fabaceae.
