Can anyone identify this fruit? Herrania species?

So I was searching for some Weird Fruit Explorer video on YouTube, and came across an older video I previously saw that started my love of herrania varieties as a theobroma relative. I saw it again, but looking at the “herrania” pod he shows, it doesn’t look like any other herrania species I know. While herranias are green with ridges or yellow with rounded ridges, this one is small, red, and relatively smooth. Like a tiny cacao pod. Does anyone know what this is?
Video is “rare fruit at tenom park part 2” (

Thanks,

I don’t find that video to be very knowledgable. My feeling is that neither of the fruits that are described as Herrania are such.

I think so too. It doesn’t look like a herrania. But, it’s a pretty cool looking fruit, so I still want to know what it is.

So, this fruit also appeared in a recent video by All the Fruit, in a tour of the agricultural section of the sabah park in tenom. Right next to the cacao trees, has similar leaves. Video is

, the fruit appears at about 5:20. He just said it was a relative of cacao, didn’t say if herrania or theobroma, or any species name.
