Are they fertile?

Gunilla:
Here's another site with pictures of hairy seedpods. Obviously not the right thing.

Diane Whitehead:
I sent Pascal's comment to Smith College.

a very short while later:  the plant's picture has been removed until it is properly identified.

Thanks, Pascal for this information.  I'll look out for it this year.

My Hylomecon japonicum japonica did not flower well this year but I found a seed pod still hanging on.
Here are photos of the pod and of it opened.
It is not very big.... I'm sure in better years it would be larger.... and the seed may not be fertile though it does look fat if  quite small.  :-\
The pod is smooth. As you can see, once it is open there are the two "strings" left.

If it is useful to anyone I can send the  full size photo files to show good magnification
Click the pix to enlarge....

Gunilla:
I must say that your seeds Maggi, look more like fertile seeds than the ones I found. Are they hard?
