Morphological characteristics of the green yuanbao

It is a medium-sized tree with odd-pinnate compound leaves and alternate leaflets; the leaf shape is lanceolate-oblong, about 8-12 cm long, with entire margins and a leathery texture. The pod reaches 20 cm in length, and the seed (that is, the green yuanbao) is oval, as large as an egg, and can be roasted for eating.

The ornamental focus of the Castanospermum australe seedling lies in the swollen basal seed ball and the sprouts that grow from it, so it must be kept clean and glossy; when watering daily, be careful not to splash muddy water, and keep the surface in the pot level.
