An Alsomitra macrocarpa seed, ready for take off. After watching the video it is easy to see that modern aircraft could have been created with this seed in mind. I am in the middle of a mind-turning botanical book, An Orchard Invisible, and am engrossed in the chapter about flying seeds. Jonathon Silvertown writes with a magnetic flare for the botanical world, I highly recommend his book.
