Description:

These are fruits of Matthiola arabica, a desert perennial that is endangered in Israel. In Sinai (Egypt) it is very common. This year it was dry in its site, so no germination, the seeds will wait in the fruit and on the ground for the rains to germinate. This can take several years or even more.
