The unusual winged seed or samara of this species spans some 13 cm, can glide for great distances and in the past was often found on the decks of ships at sea. The seed moves through the air like a butterfly in flight - it gains height, stalls, dips and accelerates, once again producing lift, a process termed phugoid oscillation.
