Castor Bean [Ricinus communis] Fruit |
| These Castor Bean plant fruit (seed pods) were photographed by Joel Wooster at the Canaveral National Seashore, Volusia County, Florida on 12/20/2007. When the seed pods dry they split into three sections (carpals) that eventually split open and eject the seed. The species is native to tropical Africa but is widespread throughout Florida and elsewhere. |
