Melembu

MelembuMelembu (Pterocymbium tinctorium) These enigmatic seeds grow high up in the branches of a tree that can reach 164 feet (50 metres) tall. Unsurprisingly the luscious red, gold and green wings ripen to the texture of dragonfly wings to enable the seed to glide to a new home in safety.
