    This very old tree is growing on a square of the historical centre of Paraty town, Brazil.
    I would love to know what it is!
    Thank you for any help or suggestion!

    Yeah, that's it (Dillenia indica). I couldn't recall the one I saw in Adelaide. Probably Dillenia philippinensis in my case.
