Field Notes

Description:

The tree is covered in Ivy or similar but I could not determine whether the fruit was growing from the 'Ivy' or the tree. The fruit is about 15-20 metres above the ground and the tree much taller. Photograph taken from the canopy walkway.

Habitat:

Tropical rainforest.

Joined your mission and added it. Finally I am getting notifications again now after a long lean period.

This is a cool one. The image in the reference link could be showing the exact same one as yours. I would appreciate if you could also add this into my fig mission: https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2374186002
