    I had a field trip last week and it was fun, however, writing a report isn't. Please! I need your help to identify the species of the seeds because I have no idea how they transmit.

    Seed 1

    Thank you very much, it seems so. I thought that it was burdock seeds :)

    The third one maybe is a fruit, but still please help to identify!!

    Looks like Sterculia of some kind. These are opened fruits, not flowers.
