Soccerball Fruit
Tabernaemontana strapfiana
Photographed at Nairobi National Park, Kenya, October 2016.
This medium sized tree from upland areas of Kenya has large, simple opposite leaves that exude white sap when torn. The white flowers with yellowish centers are pinwheel-shaped with five lobes. The fruit (not shown here) is large, suggesting a soccerball.
