The mystery deepens.... Gordon's description - viz,
> if it is Araujia serifera the pod looks like a very large(four to six
inches long) almond fruit and is filled with a silky mass of fibres, as well
as hundreds of small black seeds >
- doesn't sound like what I have. The 'pod' was *very* shallow - almost no
depth at all - , but quite wide and long (say 3" by 2") - ie, exactly like
two almost flat sea-creature-shells fitted together - and inside were simply
the seeds, no filling, and the seeds weren't small and black but, as I think
I said originally, almost exactly like those of Cardiocrinum giganteum, viz,
with a brown central 'kernel' and a surrounding thin transparent 'membrane,'
floating for the purpose of.
Does this put Hugo's jacaranda back in the frame?
