Dear colleagues:
Found in a US patent for a raspberry variety:
"Fruit that is uniformly conic in shape, glossy, with ***druplets*** evenly distributed around the berry".
Apparently also spelled "drupelets".

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Richard Boulter: Perhaps 'polidrupa'. A 'drupe' is clearly an individual fruit with a stone (olive) while 'drupelet' (also 'drupel' by Oxford English Dictionary) = component part of the entire fruit (sections of a raspberry). Cristina's refs are great but 'drupe' is not.

  -> However, in Spanish, a druplet in a 'polidrupa' is called 'drupa'. In fact, the 'clearly individual fruit' in lots of berries are actually an aggregation of fruits. Thanks for the comments, Richard!
