Carolina Snail Seed
Uploaded: January 10, 2008
Carolina Snailseed's scientific name is Cocculus carolinus, or "little berry from Carolina," but this epithet fails to reveal the source of its common name. To learn the secret, simply pluck one of the ripe, nearly translucent berries and remove the scarlet skin and colorless pulp. What remains is a flat, off-white, dimpled, quarter-inch seed that somewhat resembles a snail to some observers--hence its nickname of Carolina Snailseed.
The berries turn from green to red as they ripen.
