Until now none of us did determine the species, neither even Genus.

The edible part of Horsfieldia kingii is its seed.This i read too. How about the arils? Aren't they edible too?
It is chewed as betel nut substitute but it is more tasty & sweetish

Just wondering if the Tetragastris hostmannii is monoecious or dioecious? it is quite pity that Victor while editing the post romove all the descriptions.. Does anyone have it saved?Could be dioecious , but I am not sure! In fact it is a pitty that the descriptions aent there anymore. hope there will be tetragastris and Couma seeds avilable again

The last two photos could be of Horsfieldia kingii
The fruits belonging to Cucurbitaceae family are from wild plants.
Once identified,I can get them.
I will have many interesting species in near future
