What Wikipedia says

Syconium (pl.: syconia) is the type of inflorescence which later becomes fruit in figs (genus Ficus), formed by an enlarged, fleshy, hollow receptacle with multiple ovaries on the inside surface. In essence, it is really a fleshy stem with a number of flowers, so it is considered both a multiple and accessory fruit.
