A very strange shape I think, and I wonder what has driven it to these shapes, and in particular the color inside! If you squeeze the fruit, or simply pass a ripe one, it will bleed an ink-like substance. I wonder what that is to the toner industry – an organic toner perhaps?
Unfortunately I found no specimen in bloom.
Native range of ouratea spectabilis is Bolivia and Brazil.
