Album Info:

Saw this bunch held by a lady while returning from the river; she offered some for me to taste - sweet ones are dark in color. ---03/21/2008: Thanks, Shielandre & Nazikrieg, for naming this fruit. "The colorful bignay, Antidesma bunius Spreng., is called bignai in the Philippines; buni or berunai in Malaya; wooni or hooni, in Indonesia; ma mao luang in Thailand; kho lien tu in Laos; choi moi in Vietnam; moi-kin and chunka by the aborigines in Queensland. Among English names are Chinese laurel, currant tree, #####'s cord, and salamander tree." Taken from http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morto n/bignay_ars.html
