Pomegranate seeds have a sarcotesta.Some cycads, such as this Macrozamia communis, produce seeds with a sarcotesta.
The sarcotesta is a fleshy seedcoat,[1] a type of testa. Examples of seeds with a sarcotesta are pomegranate and some cycad seeds. The sarcotesta of pomegranate seeds consists of epidermal cells derived from the integument, and there are no arils on these seeds.[2]
