Paul - There are at least several MG species that can produce seeds that look like that e.g, various Ipomoea species,Merremia tuberosa,Operculina species,Stictocardia etc...although in all probability the seeds you are showing there are most likely either a Merremia or an Operculina...some e-bay merchants are notoriously innaccurate in their offerings and descriptions...

I'll be able to render a more accurate ID when the seed(s) sprout and the cotyledons and first true leaves are visible...

Hope they sprout and do well for you...

TTY,...

Ron
