Rubber Tree seeds

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Sep 2010 at 20:06:25 (UTC)

Original - Future Hevea brasiliensis. In spite of its name the rubber tree is one of more than 12,000 plant species that yield latex containing rubber, but one of the few that is suitable for commercial use.

Reason: I find it to be eye-catching subject matter that meets technical criteria.

Comment: How big are these things? J Milburn (talk) 20:59, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd say medium size for a seed[1]. --I'ḏ♥One 21:15, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - They look about the size of emu eggs here. Matthewedwards : Chat 02:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I thought they looked the size of bowling balls! No sense of scale here is a problem. JFitch (talk) 09:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's exactly what I was thinking. Weird. J Milburn (talk) 11:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Any of you have a suggestion for how that can be done? --I'ḏ♥One 18:07, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Get a bunch of seeds, measure them, and use that info to add a scale marker in the image with a drawing program. Or, find a reliable source that gives the seed length. Be explicit in the image description what was done to determine the scale. Sasata (talk)
Conditional support Get a scale and you have my vote. Gut Monk (talk) 00:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- LoL waiting on the photographer... --I'ḏ ♥One 03:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Solved?. I measured some of the same seeds in the photo before adding the graphic scale. Thank you all for considering it and specially IdLoveOne for nominating the picture and notifying me the debate. ... And sorry for my bad English. Luis Fernández García
