Here`s a couple of images of Anadenanthera macrocarpa`s seeds, seed pod and the embryos.
The seed pod is still unopened, around more than halfway into maturation. The seeds were collected from within the pods and placed in a series that shows how the embryo controls the hardening of the seed shell, from green to yellow to a dark brown coloring.
Within the bottom of the green seed (would correlate to the green ones on the left of the image above) you can just see the radicle of the embryo popping out, then an embryo on a similar stage to the one in the seed and then another embryo in a later stage. From bottom up, radicle, hypocotyl and epicotyl (or incorrectly said, root, trunk or stem and leaves).
True gods grow from the earth.
