Erythrina humeana green fruit pods

The long and narrow green pods of Erythrina humeana have characteristic indentations between the individual seeds growing inside. These pods will turn black as they ripen and release their red seeds. There is a black mark on each seed where it was attached to the pod.

The fruit pods are sometimes called lucky beans, a name shared with the pods of E. lysistemon that look similar (Coates Palgrave, 2002).
