Dots are small, irregular specks found on some fruits. They are described by the following terms:

Areolar. A term used to describe dots which are surrounded by a halo of a, paler or brighter color. The halo is decidedly conspicuous on some varieties and inconspicuous on others. Depressed. A term used to describe dots which are sunken as indicated by touch. Elongate. A term used to describe dots which are stretched out, or approach the general shape of a rectangle. These dots are often seen on the base of the fruit, along lines radiating from the cavity.

Stellate. A term used to describe dots which approach the form of a star.

Submerged. A term used to describe dots which are visible under the epidermis.
