Calea zacatechichi ... seed?

I'm guessing these are seeds? And should I let them dry out fully on the bush? Or gather them now? (The flowers on my plant looked quite different to the ones in this post: https://dreamherbs.com/helpful-articles/harvesting-calea-seeds/ -- different variety of Calea?)

i don't know what that is which is being shown at the dream herbs site.

 

Seeds are achenes. There is a drawing of one in the article at: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.1139/cjb-2021-0063

In general, achenes become ready to harvest when they dry and start to fall out.

 

I'm betting your flowers looked like what is shown in that article?
