Sarcocarpus (the ndea) and Nauclea are synonymous, evidently.  What a mess West African taxonomy is in.

I grow Bunchosia (peanut butter fruit. Pretty good when ripe, lasts about a day after ripening, then mush.

Passies are a strange genus and I reckon they arnt too good over here for edible fruit  (except in hotter areas) tho the flowers are  sure attractive.

IMPO: nice plant and good flowers with very tasty fruit.

56 is Jaboticaba. I was at the Denver Botanic Garden with a friend( a 17 year old Musaceae expert who lives in Colorado) and he ate quite a few of those from the one in their conservatory.

Correct also called ndea.

I believe I have seen that Noni on the latest Survivor: Cook Islands. I know it looks very familiar.

No Dave, ndea is does not refer to noni ass fruit. It is the African Peach that you posted before.  That name ndea was used in the Bill Whitman book, Five Decades with Tropical Fruit.  

Ndea doesn't return crap with google.  I'll find a reference you can check out.  It was a 30 year old article afterall so that namemay have no real current validity.  Since it is a sucky fruit anyway, African Peach probably gave it some self respect.
