Hornstedtia is well known to have edible and delicious fruits: Borneo harbours more than 10 species many of which are known to have edible fruits or other interesting uses. I have also tried eating fruits of H. scottiana in New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Australia where they are one of the preferred bush fruits of the indigenous peoples. There are some high resolution images of H. scottiana at http://virtuelgalathea3.dk/node/1119 Sorry, the pages are in Danish. Note that this species does not occur in Philippines which harbours at least 5 other species Hornstedtia.

"yutukon" yes.Hec, that is exactly the same pics you have. the fruit taste tangy but on the sweeter side and the soft part that protects the seeds reminds you of strawberry or mangosteen. Yes, and the smell, borders that of basil & lemongrass, you just got to love this fruit. i used to eat this when i was small, grew up in victorias too "Alemrac". this is just great! “yutukon” yes.Hec, that is exactly the same pics you have. the fruit taste tangy but on the sweeter side and the soft part that protects the seeds reminds you of strawberry or mangosteen.
