Thanks for your input. I find seed pods one of the hardest things to identify.

I am attaching a picture of the fruit intact.

I live in southern Ontario and I found these still on a vine on my property and was searching to find out what they are. They were spaced on a fine vine about 6" to one foot apart , although some were clustered togerther and were winding up a nearby tree and across another bush. I found one with seeds still in place. It is growing near a wet area. I wish I had noticed these before the vine had died off. I would have taken a photo in situ but I just pulled them off to put in a glass vase. So, they are still a mystery? I just found these seed same pods and I have to tell you it is very definitely not discarded mango.

Believe it or not, I like the ones that are perplexing like yours. Thank you for letting me know what it really was. I'm sure the readers will be happy to know the true identification of the seed pod. Although I have a fairly good plant knowledge base, I learn something new every day. Any time you have a question please feel free to ask it on the Bloomin' Blog. I enjoy every question sent. Believe it or not, I like the ones that are perplexing like yours.
