The seeds of several vines are also sold as bodhi. According to different varieties of rattan and different grinding depths and shapes, their seeds are named golden cicada seed, silver ingot seed and mani seed.
2. King Kong Bodhi is the seed of Elaeagnus Du Ying. Du Ying is distributed in Hainan, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places in China, mainly in Indo-China Peninsula. Du Ying, which belongs to the same genus, will be used as a street tree in the south.
Du Ying, a round fruit, uses its hard endocarp as a bodhi. Generally speaking, Du Ying, a round fruit, has five ovaries and peeled Bodhi has five petals. However, there are less than five petals or more than six petals in the market, because there are variations when flowers are formed, which leads to changes in the number of carpels.
3. The original plant of Lotus Bodhi is a wild jujube somewhere in North China, and its ornamental part is the endocarp of hard bone. Because the standard lotus bodhi on the market is extremely rare now, the price of a single seed is often hundreds of thousands, and it is difficult to find a few to break open for observation. However, as can be seen from the detailed photos, the lotus bodhi is a double carpel, which is similar to the seed structure of Rhamnaceae.
Extended data:
The ornamental part of rattan seeds is mainly the endosperm in the seeds, and the so-called "moon" on the Xingyue Bodhi is the position of the embryo. The "first month" sought after by the market means that the embryo is located in the middle position on the side of the bead-because the shape of rattan fruit is different, it is not always guaranteed that the embryo is in the same position in the processing process, so the "first month" has less output and higher price.
The "star" on the Bodhi of the Sun and Moon embodies a characteristic of Palmae plants-chewy endosperm, that is, the surface of endosperm is uneven, and some kinds of endosperm, including rattan, are particularly deep in this depression, and the seed coat and part of endocarp go deep into the depression and become "stars" after polishing. If you cut open a bodhi, you can see that many of those "stars" do not go deep into the core. King Kong Bodhi.
