Fabiales – Securidaca_longipedunculata_MS_1933

No, these aren’t samara from a Maple tree hung up here on this Securidaca longipedunculata, these are winged seeds of this South African, endangered tree and a member of Fabales. These structures could hardly appear more different than those in the Fabaceae, the Pea Family. This is a member of the Polygalaceae. Wikipedia
