We did extensive tests at Chadam with ripening times. Even within a species there is some variation. For the most successful time, 9% before natural dehiscence is good because the germination rate is highest and the seeds can be green-podded or saved and sterilized before sowing as much as a year after taking the capsule.
There is a full description in the book, but I don't have a copy here. It's in my place in Bocas del Toro, and I'm in Puerto Armuelles - the other side of Panama'.
