Edible bit of a pomegranate or litchi (4)

I believe the answer is:

aril

(Other definitions for aril that I've seen before include "Part of seed" , "Seed cover; lair (anag.)" , "Hairy or fleshy seed covering (botany), lair (anag.)" , "appendage" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
