Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Here is some additional information: Cypsela is an indehiscent fruit derived from a unilocular yet bicapellate ovary. (A Dictionary of Plant Sciences (3 ed.) & A Dictionary of Biology (7 ed.))

Below is the description of Asteraceae about the fruit and ovary:
'ovaries inferior, 2-carpellate, and 1-locular with 1 basally attached, anatropous ovule'
'Fruits (technically cypselae, historically called achenes)' (Flora of North America; http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=10074)
