Mucuna Seedpod
Nature installed an incredible display of unusual tropical seedpods at the river. I have seen these pods before, but never in a quantity like this and in an area that was convenient for photography.
This woody vine is a type of Mucuna of the Fabaceae family. The large seedpods (around six inches long) contain seeds known as seabeans. They have medicinal properties, can be eaten in times of famine and the seeds are used for jewelry.
