The fruit of Amphibolia laevis in picture are reddish, bulging and translucent before they dry, their bases obconical.

The five valves on ripe fruit respond to moisture by opening for periodic seed dispersal. The dry fruits are cream, the five equal sectors meeting in the centre of a circle like a sliced cake for a party of five, with five decayed sepals around them like mutilated icing (Le Roux, et al, 2005; Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist).
