What kind of fruit is produced by Magnolia plants?

Magnolia plants produce a distinctive, conelike fruit known as an aggregate of follicles.1

In this structure, the numerous simple ovaries located in the center of the flower develop into individual follicles. Each of these follicles is a dehiscent fruit derived from a single carpel, which splits longitudinally along a ventral suture at maturity to release its seeds. These seeds are often reddish and may hang pendulously from the fruit by slender, silky threads.1234
