Title: A fruiting plant
Post by: arillady on September 03, 2020, 11:18:52 PM

A friend in the US has sent me this photo for identification. "Maybe something in Annonaceae?  It has an Asimina look about it, or Uvaria."

Maybe a type of Syzygium (Myrtaceae)?

Hi Pat,
I've asked a couple of people on Instragram in the US who've asked if they could see the seeds. Did your friend take pics of the insides?
cheers

The paired (?) fruits & seeds with parachutes might suggest an asclepiad :-\

Pods seem almost   smooth - I  wonder  if  it  might  be  a  Stephanotis? (Maybe  pods are  not  large enough ?)

Even could  be  Araujia sericifera which I  believe  has  wind  borne  seed

You could well be right Maggi.  I don't know Araujia but online pictures of its fruit seem to match pretty well, as does the foliage.

Another  chum has  also suggested  an Araujia -----  seems  likely!

Araujia sericifera is a frequent weed in Australian gardens:
