Ormosia coccinea is a plant found in South Eastern North America and South America that produces striking red seeds with a black spot covering one-third of their surface. These seeds, known as wayruru in Peru and nene or chumico in Costa Rica, are believed to be powerful good luck charms by villagers. They are also used for decorative purposes, with a French name of panacoco, although this name is more commonly used for Swartzia tomentosa.
