Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Wild Durian (Cullenia excelsa)
« on: February 26, 2015, 06:33:54 AM »
From what I read online, my understanding is that Cullenia excelsa, Cullenia exarillata, Durio ceylanicus, Durio zeylanicus and Durio exarillatus are synonyms.
According to online sources, Wild durian fruits are much smaller than what I found in the jungle. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Durio_exarillatus
The fruit shown at the start of my post weighed 0.72 kg (1.60 lb) and seeds were over 20 g (0.70 oz). The fruit just fit inside my palms held together. In fact, I found fruits larger than that on a tree! But, I was not able to get them down.
Fruits shown in my previous reply (tribal boys holding a Wild durian branch with fruits) were relatively smaller. Seeds also were smaller.
