The largest seed in the world is the coco de mer, [1] [2] the seed of a palm tree. [3] It can reach about 30 centimetres (12 inches) long, and weigh up to 18 kilograms (40 pounds).
The mature seeds weighing up to 17.6 kg (29 lbs) are the world's heaviest [21] [7] [22] The seed upon germinating, produces the longest known cotyledon, up to four meters (13 feet). [23] and on occasion as long as ten meters (33 feet). [24] It is the slowest growing of all large trees, [25] although some small to medium-sized desert trees are ...

The type of seed dispersal evolved has been highly correlated to seed size in floras across the world. [22] In general, seeds smaller than 0.1 mg are often unassisted (wind dispersed), seeds larger than 100 mg are often dispersed by vertebrates or by water, and seeds between 0.1 and 100 mg are dispersed by a large variety of dispersal modes ...
