Andaman Redwood seed
The branched veins on the leaf-like seed of an Andaman redwood tree Pterocarpus dalbergioides possessively protect the seed spore in its clasp resulting in this impressively-patterned armour! Visitors to the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelago are able to spot these trees at the famous Cinque Island, south of the Rutland Island.
