Pelican Flower Fruit

Aristolochia gigantea, Dutchman's Pipe, Pelican Flower etc
I know that many members grow this vine. If anybody has photos of the fruit, I would very much like to see them. I have searched everywhere without success.

Thank you for the pointer. That is the only photo that I have seen.

My attention has just been draw to a forgotten item in my nursery. Seeds from Costa Rica for Aristolochia grandiflora have germinated, planted two months ago. grandiflora is very similar to gigantea but is found here in the wild. One of them stinks and one does not, I have forgotten which.

The fruit from the vine we are trying to identify is attached. The size is probably right but the shape is not.
