Could it be Coccoloba uvifera (Sea Grape Tree)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... |

Yorkshirelass said:Could it be Coccoloba uvifera (Sea Grape Tree) Thank you for the suggestion ..but it is definitely not Coccoloba unifera. I am very familiar with that..it has almost round leaves with very prominent mid vein. https://www.google.co.uk/searc... |

With many thanks to Reema Prakash from the University of the South Pacific for providing me with the id. Inocarpus fagifer...Tahitian Chestnut https://www.google.co.uk/searc... Not only do I know what this is...but it has provided me with answers to other pics which just have the seed pods. Result! |

flower reminds me of Citharexylum, could it be member of that genus? |

Ahhh.... that's it... Inocarpus fagifer..., (please ignore my previous post)... thanks to remind me of this forgotten fruit tree in my country. here it is called Gayam tree. it was once grown for its edible seed (after baking) but now almost unheard. |
