Triaspis glaucophylla fruit

The usually abundant Triaspis glaucophylla fruits each consists of three saucer-shaped carpels or samaras that may become separated as they ripen.

The wide, flat, slightly wavy or elaborately contorted lateral wings around the seed are pale against the light, initially green, later pale brown with darker veins across them. The central part where the rounded seed resides is darker and thicker (Schmidt, et al, 2002; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Letty, 1962; iNaturalist).
