I agree Seema. And Papua is considered as the most interesting place due to it's high endemicity and small number of research done there. Mr S Frazier must be very lucky to do research over there!

Indonesian forests are treasure-troves of fascinating flora and fauna!

Lovely plants! This make me think that it was "buah merah", but I'm wrong. Hehe ... May be you have to find the real "buah merah" (red fruit) - Pandanus conoideus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandanus_conoideus
