[ID: A photo of a hand reaching out to hold three long, skinny black seed pods from a fuzzybean plant. In the background are different kinds of grass, and hopniss leaves. End ID.]

[ID: A photo of newly-forming seed pods on a lanceleaf rattlebox plant, with each bean pod green, very fuzzy, and curving outward from the stem. A tiny fruit fly and some dark red ants with black abdomens crawl on the plant. End ID.]

[ID: A photo of a hand holding three still-green hopniss seed pods, which are shaped like very lumpy green beans, and are shiny from rain. End ID.]

all these photos are public domain because I took them and I said so
