Bat Head Root Seed Pod

Bat Head Root Seed Pods, also called Devil’s Claw or Tiger's Claw, come from the Martynia annua plant, originally native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and now found in many regions worldwide. The pods are woody, claw-shaped seed capsules with distinctive hooked ends, giving them a striking, natural appearance.
