Good job ! Here's the vernacular name for the ones I know:
5: Uchong
44: Asam empaong
78: Jelintik my favourite !
86: Kepundung

and I confirm they are very difficult to grow outside their native area...

I think most would grow fine in my local area gouralata but I only ever see 5 species and few of the rest are probably here.Burmese grapes are probably one that could extend into cooler areas further.

The one i saw for sale today is like on this pic, very red.

If you want the tree i will give it to you when you arrive in Thailand one day, i did not taste or see the fruit only pics in his shop.

This man has species of many asian country's for sale. I don't know where he got this from, my wife has to be the translator when i talk to him.

If you need something special then let me know, if i see it somewhere i can buy it for you. I also go to the kasetsart agriculture fair this year.

One of the passionfruitseeds has allready sprouted, i saw it when i planted the seeds. I planted 60 of them and have some spare now.

I have not seen Mootii(Baccaurea. courtallensis) but I can get them from Kerala in season. I have eaten many times Baccaurea ramiflora/Baccaurea safida in Tripura,which we call bhubi or latkon. I have seen two types-one is light yellow and another dark yellow(Exactly I do not remember).
Most of Baccaurea species are found in Thailand,Indonesia & Malaysia.I wish to collect Baccaurea macrocarpa,I think the fruit is biggest among Baccaurea species.I may be wrong.

I have eaten Baccaurea Courtallensis and it tastes like lemon mangosteen. The fruits are maroon-red in colour. I have two seedlings from the seeds.
