A relative of the avocado, this wonderful little savory fruit comes as a welcome change from the usually sweet tropical fruits.
The tree comes from Sarawak and South-west Sabah where it can be seen growing along riverbanks and scattered near villages. The foliage looks somewhat like that of the avocado, however the leaves are longer and droop more gracefully.
These are flowers of Litsea garciae and each staminate umbels may consists of 7-9 flowers.
