A samara (/ s ə ˈ m ɑːr ə /, UK also: / ˈ s æ m ər-/) [1] is a winged achene, [2] a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall. A samara is a simple dry fruit , and is indehiscent (not opening along a seam ).
The fruit is a samara, elliptical to ovate-elliptical, 10–13 mm long by 6–8 mm broad. [3] The samara is mostly glabrous, the seed at the centre or toward the apex, is borne on a stalk 1–3 mm in length; it matures rapidly and disperses by late autumn. The trunk has a handsome, flaking bark of mottled greys with tans and reds, giving rise ...
The flowers are produced in racemes 10 cm long, each flower 8–10 mm diameter, with five yellow to greenish-yellow sepals and petals; it is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate trees. The fruit is a paired samara 2–3 cm long with rounded nutlets.
The fruit is a schizocarp of 2 samaras, each one 15 to 25 mm (5 ⁄ 8 to 1 in) long. Prior to dehiscence, the wings of the fruit are somewhat divergent at an angle of 50 to 60°. They are borne on long slender pedicels and are variable in color from light brown to reddish. [6]
The fruit is a round wind-dispersed samara flushed with chlorophyll, facilitating photosynthesis before the leaves emerge. [3] The samarae are very light, those of British elms numbering around 50,000 to the pound (454 g ). [ 4 ] (
3D rendering of a μCT scan of a samara. Resolution is about 45 μm/voxel. The distinctive fruits are called samaras, "maple keys", "helicopters", "whirlybirds" or "polynoses". These seeds occur in distinctive pairs each containing one seed enclosed in a "nutlet" attached to a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue. They are shaped to spin as ...

The wings are 3–5 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 –2 in) long, widely spread, approaching a 180° angle. It typically produces a large quantity of viable seeds.
