Tabernaemontana dichotoma is known as the forbidden fruit. It is regarded as the actual tree which was involved with Eve and Adam's fall. It is pretty hard to find round here.
A few years ago a few seeds -priced like overhyped cannabis seed -showed up on ebay. I talked with.the seller and he implied they were a drug like cobra venom, but much stronger. So.I bought them, he sent them twice, nothing. I have seen either the same or, likely, another vendor on the same site rarely.
Anyone know anything about it? Has anyone ever seen one?
This is Tabernaemontana dichotoma Roxb NOT the other T dichotoma (Sesse and Moc) which is from the Americas and completely different.
AKA Pagiantha dichotoma
AKA Divi kaduru
You think it might be the exact tree of adam and eve? Hmmm. Things went badly when they ate some fruit from it, as i recall.
Eating this (English name:Poison nut) would likely suck too. I am not into cobra venom, although it has seduced a friend or two into mind-brain smoothies. If the seeds were consumable, one would be way more than a dose.
I had spent a whole night tr*pping hearing someone fiendishly talk about cobra venom as a drug around the same time.
There is just something that speaks to me about the fruit.
Funny how every year there is a blog or two that mentions it, and how many of the bloggers are dead.
