This is awesome!!

I have updated with more 2 pictures...tomorrow I will post a video...

Is it a vine like a gourd? Do you have a photo?

P.young and dandoucette, I found the tree and the fruits that when opened drops the seeds... but I could not identified.
The fruit measure around 25 cm and has short thorns..not sharp.

P.young, the Alsomitra macrocarpa really looks like the seed that I found, but in the video in youtube, the Alsomitra macrocarpa looks to be more resistent then the ones that I found. Thanks for the information...

I love these 'hang-gliding' seeds. Nature really does come up with anything and everything.

These are look like wings. Great!

Rubens, I found this on the internet I was looking for something else and I saw this similar seed called -Alsomitra macrocarpa.

p.young713,

I found these seeds in a track inside a forest and I could not see the tree that was seeding this...they are carried very far with the wind ...next weekend, I will try to discover.

What kind of tree is it? Its a very interesting photo!

I saw 2 similar seeds in Southeast Asia, not sure about the Brazilian species.
