    It was simply labeled 'Hummingbird Vine.'
    It is 5 mm long and 2 mm at its widest point.
    Anyone know the botanical name? Thanks

    Hummingbird vine is usually Ipomoea quamoclit. The seeds look right for an Ipomoea, but it would be really hard to say for sure.

    Hi. Sorry - that link is useless to many people, because you need to be a registered and paid member on those forums to see replies to the original post - but it's nice to have confirmation that Eric was correct, so thanks for that.
