Hey guys, got some seed for sale, I don't know if it's in the fruit category or not, but I think you guys will like it

Alsomitra macrocarpa (Blume) M. Roem. (Cucurbitaceae) /Burung Sayap (Winged Bird ) is a climbing plant native to the tropical rainforests of Asia, particularly the Malay Peninsula. Belonging to the gourd family, the fruit of this plant is bell-shaped and about the size of a football. Suspended from the vine high in the forest canopy, each fruit is densely packed with approximately 300 winged seeds which fall from the underside of a fruit when it matures.
The transparent, papery wings allow the seeds to glide gracefully from the fruit. Seeds can travel 100m from the vine in calm conditions, or up to 1km with the help of wind.
The seed wings even inspired scientists to build more stable model airplanes. This research was conducted by researchers from the University of Tokyo, since 39 years ago.
Morphology and Characteristics of Alsomitra Macrocarpa
Alsomitra macrocarpa requires other plants to reproduce, from seedlings to adults. This plant looks woody and can grow up to 30 meters high.
In some areas, this one flora is even considered a pest because of its crown. If not controlled regularly, these plants can cover the entire surface of the host.
Uniquely, the growth of the Javanese cucumber follows the direction of the sun. It has a fruit the size of a soccer ball or coconut, with a diameter of up to 300 mm or around 30 cm.
The tip of the fruit looks open with seeds arranged in a row. It is these seeds that transform into seeds, their wings making the spread of plants unpredictable.
Alsomitra macrocarpa's wings are yellowish-white. The surface is slightly transparent, and there is an oval hard layer and brown in the middle.
It is undeniable, the winged shape of the seeds facilitates the distribution of Java cucumber. Thanks to its aerodynamic capabilities, the seeds can be carried even up to the top of the ship's deck.
According to various sources, the speed at which Alsomitra macrocarpa's wings descend is around 0.4 meters per second. Meanwhile, the flight speed of the signalman reaches 1 meter per second.
