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

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone growing Coinosicys macranthus?

There is some information on the web, but few. You have to type it right Cionosicyos
On wikipedia 3 species are listed.
C.macracantus, C.ecisus and C.pomiformis
These are the pictures of the other two species:

I'd also love to get some of these seeds! Seems a great plant. Cucurbitaceae are full of less known fruit and vegetable plants

I actually got similar lychees, even a bit bigger with great taste - planted the seeds recently - all grow very well. I must say except its size it was the best tasting lychee i eve ate. Onle negative thing, it was a bit too sweet.

81
The edible part of Horsfieldia kingii is its seed.
It is chewed as betel nut substitute but it is more tasty & sweetish

Roy
This i read too. How about the arils? Aren't they edible too?

longkong = langsat? I love this fruit! I tried it once !!!!

83
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

84
Fruit looks actually more like macrocarpa :)
Strange because macrocarpa seems to be described from more southern regions according to some papers.
Or lets better say, before all was described as acrocarpa and later the different plants of northern distribution were divided into another specis H.heteroclita.
So actually intresting. do you think both species may be found at same territory?

85
I still have to taste a nice tamarillo, all I tried (about 4 times) didn't have a nice taste and had that smell of Solanum elaeagnifolium

86
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

Roy

Thank You dear Digpati - All could be intresting I suppose!
Horsfelida is also very intresting species, but don't know if the orange aril is also edible like in Myristica fragrans?! Seed is most probably not to use for food puroses..but i am not sure

87
The Cucurbitaceae plant could be Melothria sp. or Zehneria sp. ??

88
Second picture seems some Cucurbitaceae and third Zingiberaceae. Have too lokk what species they may be. First Picture  seems a Ficus sp. - maybe Ficus palmata:
http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Punjab%20Fig.html
or Ficus fulva:
http://vietnamplants.blogspot.it/2014_05_01_archive.html
or Ficus hirta, that has various varieties in India.

As the picture is not to clear please use this file for help:
http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw/taiwania/pdf/tai.2012.57.2.193.pdf
To me it looks similar to F.fulva on the picture I posted. But on other pictures F.fulva looks different ...

89
Last picture is Horsfieldia sp. (to know which species unfortunately i cannot help). HAve you got these seeds?

90
Calligonum junceum:
http://cvh.org.cn/cvh_picture/eco/b/1210845.jpg
Calligonum calliphysa:
http://botany.cz/foto/calligonum1.jpg

Me myself i tried only Calligonum aphyllum:
http://www.plantarium.ru/dat/plants/6/623/623_45136c4a.jpg


Fruits are collected before they dry out. Taste is light sour - apple like.
Don't know, but may assume that excessive consumption of fresh fruits isn't good for Oxalates present in the plant. (Most Polygonaceae, like rhubarb, produce oxalates..).
Calligonum are plants of extreme desert climates. And are both winter and drought hardy

91
Mulberry
Ephedra
Nitraria
Malacocarpus
Calligonum edible species
Ziziphus
Balanites
Lycium
Acanthosicyos
....

Maybe Phyllanthaceae/Euphorbiaceae??
But still - difficult without flower, seed, leafs....
I don't think its Allophylus at the end - I simply tried to search plants from Kerala that correspond. But without flowers and without knowledge on fruits inside from the Keralite flora - difficult for me :(

I was thinking of Allophylus cobbe : http://www.flickr.com/photos/54527470@N00/8363910686#
Sapindaceae, but looks different as Digpati said.
How many seeds are in the fruit?
From the video looks like one seed!

94
Except its great nutritional value it is also a very beautiful plant! I think it should earn really attention!

Looks like the fruit is also know as Keraya: http://ji2nee2kerala.weebly.com/medicinal-plants.html
Found a vid too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW5ODrVAYQM

The Thondi=Keraya seems to be another plants. There is a picture a bit below of the Thondi they mean - its from Caesalpinoidae...

98
Don't have any experience with Anacardium, but with Mangifera, PIstacia vera and Bouea - all Anacardiaceae...
All, specially Pistacia vera develop long taproots.
Pistacia is extrem in this sense.
You may use the smallest pots, but they should be deep, I think. If you cannot find such pots use a plastic tube cut in pieces.
That may solve initially your place problem.

At least try to send us pictures of flowers, leafs, seeds. We will try to determine family, genus and species!

I am not a Passiflora specialist, but second one looks like P. suberosa. However seems that this species may vary in leaf shape:
