spotted these seeds flying through the air coming a vine growing up a towering Dipterocarp. they can land up to 1.25miles (2km) from their parent tree
Thanks craig for the proper ID! Not sure how you came to this old spotting but I appreciate it. I was way off on the ID but it was just a guess.
I saw some documentary (Attenburough, I think) that filmed these flying through the air. Simply amazing.
