Great job on these, please look at the silique again. You example is a legume (Fabaceae), which is a bit different from the silique which is only found in the cabbage family (Brassicaceae). Legumes have marginal placentation and are the fusion of a single carpel, while Brassicaceae have parietal placentation and 2+ carpels.
