Sarcotesta (Wikipedia)

The sarcotesta is a fleshy seedcoat, a type of testa. Examples of seeds with a sarcotesta are pomegranate and some cycad seeds. The sarcotesta of pomegranate seeds consists of epidermal cells derived from the integument, and there are no arils on these seeds.

Pomegranate seeds have a sarcotesta.
Some cycads, such as this Macrozamia communis, produce seeds with a sarcotesta.
