Streblus taxoides

Streblus, a very unfamiliar genus to me, belongs to Moraceae where about five species could be found in Hainan but none in Hong Kong. I only managed to find immature fruits of S. taxoides during my visit to Hainan in late May. Moraceae usually produces syncarp like Ficus or Artocarpus but some of the genera also produces drupe like Streblus.
