These seeds have a very distinctive look. Anyone recognize them. Someone brought them back for me from a trip to Southeast Asia.

Looks like a seed from a Phoenix with that midrib.  Maybe Phoenix paludosa?  That one is native to SE Asia.  Phoenix palms are remote germinators if you get one to germinate.

Don't look like palms. I thought they were canariensis. Anybody recognize these plants? Picked up by my Mom in Manila.

LOL!  Definitely not Phoenix palm seeds!  Or any other palm.  My guess would be some ornamental tree - the seeds don't look like any from tropical fruits that I'm familiar with.  Seeds look similar to coffee seeds but seedlings don't look right for coffee.
