The watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, produces the largest berry. The watermelon is, however, classified as a 'pepo,' sometimes called a 'false berry,' because of the plant's inferior ovaries. The name, however, is a false cognate, meaning that, despite being called a 'false berry' (also called an epigynous berry), pepos, including watermelons, are considered to be berries. The largest berries with a superior ovary are considered to be eggplants, avocados, and plantains.
