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). http://www.tropicos.org/Image/100233425 Regards, Kai |

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 |
