Autograph Tree fruit

An opened Autograph Tree fruit in Hawaii

The fruit and leaves of the Autograph Tree (Clusia rosea) are toxic to humans and animals. When the fruit is ripe, it opens to reveal red seeds, which are dispersed by birds, animals and the weather. This is a spent fruit after that process is finished.

      I found another one in the sunlight and photographed that, thinking it would make a better photo. When I looked at it at home, I realized it had eight segments! Don’t know which, if either, is the norm.
