Hello Tim,

it's not clearly to seen but of course you will be correct, you have it in front from you.

Sorry, in this case I can't be from help!

PS: one time collector, every time collector!

Hello Tim,

I'd guess that these larger seeds are from the genus Ormosia (possibly Ormosia calavensis).

Thank you Kia. That is great with luck I might be able to get some as a couple have been lost, would be nice to replace then.

Hello Tim,

You'll have to search for their common name "horse-eye beans" (I guess).

There are many species (some well-known ones from tropical America and Africa). Even Asian seeds seem to vary quite a bit; it might be a good idea to ask for measurements first.

Regards,
Kai

Thanks again Kia. This link is interesting, hope to get some somehow.

It's quite widespread, Tim: PNG, Indonesia, Philippines.
