Flacourtia inermis, known commonly as lovi-lovi, or batoko plum, is a species of flowering plant native to the Philippines and Indonesia, but which has naturalized around the edges of tropical Asia and Africa. - Wikipedia
Looks like the batoko plum are in season again. The fruits are round and shiny, green in colour turning to deep red colour upon ripening. They look like maraschino cherries sans the stalks. They are said to be rich in antimicrobial agents, but are too sour and acidic to eat directly.
They look nice on the trees. But they make a mess after they ripen and drop on the ground – especially on the tarmac where they are stepped on by pedestrians or crushed by bicycle wheels.
