A friend gave me a seed from one of her plants..It is round and green,it looks like a ball from a Sweet Gum tree ...But it is a seed from this plant , I watched her pick it from the plant .She says the plant blooms at night and has a beatiful white flower...I thought of the Moon Flower,I looked up the Moon flower Plant.The seed did not look like this one. Any ideas? I sure would appreciat some help with this.The plant this seed was taken from , was not a vine..I hope this is enough information for someone to know what it is..Thank you for your help...

It's a datura, for sure. Brugmansia is closely related, but it's seed pods look more like a bean or a slender pepper. As previously noted, all plant parts are toxic, and people have been known to try to get high off them, with very bad results. But the flowers are beautiful and a real pleasure in the garden in the evening.

Seeds are difficult to identify at best. Your best bet is to identify the flower/shrub the seed came from.
Note as many of the plant's characteristics as you can: size of plant (height, etc.), type and size of leaves, leaf placement, color of flower, size of flower, what zone you are in, blooming time, etc. Once you have all that information, you can look up the plant by the flower and leaf definition.
Perhaps your friend knows what her plant is?
Are you sure it is a seed, and not a plant gall?

A moonflower will stand up like a tomato plant when it's short. I would say it's a moonflower.
The seed she gave you was a seed pod and the seeds are inside. If it was still green the seeds may not be mature,

It is a seed from a datura or brugsmania plant.The plant is an annual in cold climates,but it can come back from seed if left out over winter.It can be quite a weed in warmer climates.All parts of this plant are toxic.Some common name's are angels trumpet, jimson weed.

it sound like it might be a nite blooming jasmine or a gardenia depending on the size of the flower. the jasmine is about the size of a quarter. the gardenia is about the size of a bigger rose
