Yes, but I would differentiate between wet (Fruit) and dry (Capsule)
Google Images for Exochorda fruit

In botanical jargon they are all fruits. A capsule is a particular type
of dry fruit, which includes poricidal capsules (as in Papaver) and
loculicidal capsules (as in Hibiscus). Exocharda apparently has a
coccetum, which is defined as "an aggregate fruit with dehiscent
fruitlets opening along the dorsal and ventral sutures".


Atropa bella-donna, on the other hand, has a homicidal bacca. (Sorry:
the Devil made me do it.)
