we encountered this single seed capsule at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve on New Year’s day while hiking. it is, I believe, a Sterculia species.
there are a few mature trees along Jurong Park Connector, but I have not been able to admire the seed pods so close up ever before.
this single seed decorates a still very small “tree” of only about 1.45 m with two rather tiny branches .
