Default Help in identification of a tree

thank you Mel,
you saved me from further sleepless nights
I only ended with sort of bladdernut
the problem was, english has no distinct translation for our german
"Balgfrucht", in this case in "ventricidal" form
now I know at least it's "boat-shaped pod", and more poetically "tear
drop like"
