    I'm thinking something in the bombax family, like a Ceiba.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    If you can, give us more information, such as where you found it---and a photo of the plant it came from would be most helpful.

    It grows on a large tree in florida. (thick mottled trunk)
    & hangs down from the branches.

    The pod is in 5 sections & while it was drying out, split along one of the sections...... When it dries out more i'll see if I can split it in 2 & take a picture..

    Thanks

    Kigelia pinnata ....it doesn't look like this on Wickopedia
    Pods are single & all the same size
