    Can you give us any detail? Where did you get these? Were they in a package or growing somewhere? How big are they, relative to something like your fingernail or a pencil?

    Red and black seed always makes me thing of Abrus precatorius which this is not. One, these aren't red enough, and two, the hilum on the rosary pea is in the black, not the red side.

    It is from Philippine.
    My friend gave to me the picture.
    Could it be Meliaceae?

    Thank you,
