The photographer notes that the white ant bread (or elaiosome) can clearly be seen. It serves the seed dispersal by native ants that carry the fruit to their underground nets, where the elaiosome is immediately eaten by the ants. According to several studies the ant bread isolates the seed from the oxygen it needs to germinate. The genus was named in 1810 by Robert Brown after this white ant bead (leuco means white and spermum seed).
