    Not sure. I only got to look at one of the pics, and had to shut it down quickly because it was generating obnoxious pop-up ads.

    Can you move them to a better image host, please!

    This is Semecarpus cochinchinensis, family Anacardiaceae. The sap is highly irritant to the skin.

    Thank you - in the web I found a short notice that the fruit is edible,
    is this safe , of course only the orange parts ?
    I could not find any pictures in the web, only "Semecarpus anacardium the
    "marking nut" .
    Are there other semecarpus species with poisonous fruit one might mistake
    for this one ?
