Question
Hi there! I am wondering if you could tell me what plant these seeds might belong to? I found these yesterday while working in a gravel wetland that was covered with cattails (Town of Lake George, NY). We cleared some of the cattail out, and these were lying in the soil. Apologies for not having great photos, this was all that I could find. Thanks as always!
Answer
Dear SunnyMona, good morning. These look like the fruits of some member of the Araceae, such as Calla palustris. Or, possibly, another member of that family (e.g., immature fruits of Arisaema triphyllum that (1) did not reach maturity and (2) are shriveled a bit in drying). I would start there with your study. Best wishes.
