User's notes

_Rhysotoechia robertsonii_ . Healthy tree still actively growing in stature, not fully grown, fruiting well this season yet fruits appear to have incompletely filled with seeds. Fruiting branch already on the ground from the tree above today, since my 4 days earlier observation of this tree. Showing here seeds with black testas (skins) and yellow arils with an interesting 3D structure . I moved this branch to set up for these photos on to this _Lomandra_ tussock and took out some of the seeds with arils for close ups (washed my hands after handling this species' fruits ... ). Beware the milky white liquid in the fruits apparent is poisonous for us humans. South Mossman River terrace north side of highway bridge . 2014 November 17th 2:27–2:41 pm .
