ID on fruit and leaves
What species is this?
http://www.filepocket.com/users/51/DoubleFruit3.jpg It comes from a compact medium sized tree in a Sydney park (sorry, did not have my camera with me). The fruit on the tree consists of two segments, 3 cm long overall. It can best be described as a sphere on the end of a cylinder. |
