noni, great morinda, Indian mulberry

Morinda citrifolia

Description:

Globular ball, approx. 10 cm in diameter.

Notes:

Perhentian Islands, Malaysia: I really wish I had taken photos of the tree - but these was a year before I discovered Project Noah. These jelly-globs were lying in the sand under a tree approx. 10 meters from the ocean. At first I thought they were some sort of washed up jelly fish, but upon closer examination, I determined that they were hanging and falling from the tree.
