Hello friends, Avenue tree at Powai, Mumbai, bearing brown colored fruits, approx 4". Thank you very much, Dinesh.
Thanks, David. I will search on that. I had a feeling it may have some relation to "brazil nut" family. Thanks once again.
Heard from local folks that a fresh fruit when cut - stinks very much - it can almost induce vomitting. I did not get to know the nature or color of its contents; guess, must be sort of soft pulp and seed(s). Two pictures here of a piece of fallen fruit - (it had no longer any of the foetid smell) -the shell is flexible, yet maintains its shape, has coir very similar to that of coconut. Chances of any species among Lecythidaceae?
