• Description

  Close-up of a seed of Grias cauliflora based on Reinaldo Aguilar 12231 from the Osa Peninsula, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Note that the aborted ovules are attached by a straight funicle and there is no evidence of an aril. The seed coat is very fragile and appears fragmented in this image.
