Wednesday, 24th September.
They bring me an overripe fruit of Clymenia polyandra. Its colour is distinctly orange, skin and pulp. The taste is past its best.
This fruit contained 24 seeds. In five fruits there were 3, 4, 12, 7 and 24 seeds. Average of 10 seeds per fruit.
The way the seeds are attached is very distinctive.
The fruit peeled easily and the segments separated by themselves.
Photo taken with another camera. The colour is closer to the actual colour. You can see the hard drive, the smartphone and USB battery. Note the theme of oilcloth.
I spent the rest of the day visiting the village.
The underside of a hut is transformed into a henhouse but the hens are pigeons.
These pigeons are Goura victoria. They are big like hens.

Tomorrow, departure for lae.
