Nitpicking time?
It is a synconium and it is turned outside in ;-)

We were both wrong. The spelling is syconium. What is the difference
between outside in and inside out? The flowers of a Ficus, such as they are,
are inside the inflorescence and in wild figs are pollinated by a tiny wasp.

You are right. Very sloppy of me. I took a quick look in my botanical
dictionaries (looking in the wrong spot), could not find it and instead of
digging out the Moraceae literature took a quick stab at the internet.
You can find anything on the internet, including misspellings (google has 1
synconium for every 4 syconium's).

According to my fig book the latin is "syconium" but its english equivalent
should be "sycone". According to Google this is more popular in French than
in English ...

Apparently I am now reaching the point where I am posting too hastily and
should slow down or I might end up like Cereoid ...

As to "outside in" and "inside out", when dealing with a piece of clothing
there is no difference, but in this case the inside is still inside and was
joined by the outside.

Northern Hemisphere only (and mountains of Africa)

More nitpicking. See A
HREF="http://www.botanik.uni-bonn.de/conifers/cu/ju/"Juniperus
description/A
According to this page, The range of the genus is primarily Northern
Hemisphere, with one species to 18 deg. South in Africa.

Yes, Juniperus procera occurs in Africa, in the mountain ranges, but that is
what I said, isn't it?

This pattern of Northern Hemisphere genera crossing the equator by staying
in the mountains happens a lot. Likely Rhododendron in Australia is also
such a case.

It is not (a fruit),

Why not? It is a receptacle for the seeds which develops from the female
cone. What else would you call it?

+ + +
Apparently it is called such things as:
"the female cones consist of three to eight fleshy, pointed scales which
coalesce and finally form a more or less globular body or 'berry'."
