Ficus destruens (Rusty fig) - fruit
Ficus auriculata edible 不同种类的无花果 
Ficus hispida Linnaeus 不同种类的无花果 
http://www.ask.com/wiki/Figs 里面介绍了上百种不同种类的无花果，这一种产自美国佛州  
Fig 无花果 上面的几种都是同属不同种类的无花果 学名：Ficus carica Linn.，桑科榕属，落叶灌木或乔木。原产欧洲地中海沿岸和中亚，西汉引入中国。 无花果是我国长江以南地区常见的果树，在新疆塔里木盆地也有大量栽培，主要分布于阿图什、喀什、莎车、叶城、和田、阿克苏、库尔勒等地以及吐鲁番盆地，其 中以阿图什所产的无花果最为著名。全市农场、各乡的果园以及普通农舍周围，到处可见无花果树，树冠墨绿，枝叶婆娑，浓荫覆盖。果熟时节，醇郁醉人的果香扑 鼻而来。在村镇集市上，果农将一个个扁圆的、金黄的无花果，用巴掌宽的绿叶垫衬着，盛在柳条筐或搪瓷盆里，摆摊在街边路旁，招徕过往的人们品尝。这里的无 花果有早熟、晚熟等品种之分，均属优良品种，果皮细薄，果肉奶黄色，软糯多汁，气味芳香，甘甜如蜜(含糖量达24%)，吃起来很像鲜嫩爽口的奶油椰丝点 心，其风味颇似岭南香蕉。
无花果又名隐花果、蜜果、奶浆果、品仙果，属桑科落叶灌木或小乔木。它并非无花，而是花体太小，又不外露，隐藏于壶状的总花托内，植物学中称做隐头花 序，因此人们只见果实而见不到花。待果实生长到1/3大时，把它切开，就可以用放大镜看到正在盛开的花朵。
新疆的无花果极少病虫危害，不用药物防治，因此是一种天然无毒的绿色果品，很受人们喜爱。
木瓜榕 热带雨林的野外生存粮食 看到现在，尤其是看到它的拉丁名 Ficus auriculata Lour.大家应该已经学会判断它是那一属的植物了。这不就是又一种无花果么? 有部越南老电影里面放了许多木瓜榕的特写镜头，那时候还小，没记住是讲什么的，只记住了吃那些木瓜榕的画面。后来去越南和西双版纳，竟然都没见着木瓜榕。平日所看到的榕树果实际上并不是榕树真正的果实，而是花序托。当木瓜榕的花成熟开放时，花序的顶 部会 自动打开通道，让一种榕小蜂出进，为它传粉。由于木瓜榕花序的结构和生长习性特别，所以只有特殊的榕小蜂才能为它传粉，离开了这些昆虫，它就不能结果； 木瓜榕又名大果榕、馒头果、大无花果、波罗果、大木瓜、蜜枇杷、大石榴等，果实直接结在大枝桠或树干上，甚至树干的基部，形似扁球，大小如拳，初生绿色， 成熟时变为红褐色，微甜多汁，味美可食，堪称野生水果中的上乘之品。木瓜榕在西双版纳的丛林里，一年四季都能吃到它。果实直接结在大枝丫或 树干上，甚至树干的基部，形似扁 球，大小如拳，初生绿色，成熟时变为红褐色，微甜多汁，味美可食，堪称野生水果中的上乘之品。此外，紫红色的嫩叶也可供食用，为西双版纳傣族菜肴中常见的 野生蔬菜之一。 木瓜榕多生于低山沟谷潮湿雨林中。在中国的海南、广西、云南、贵州、四 川等地都有分布，印度、越南、巴基斯坦也有分布。 
木瓜榕? 这个看上去不象。 
Wild tamarind (Diploglottis australis) and several related species were a particular favorite bit of bush tucker encountered while doing field research in Queensland Australia. Actually the fruit is an inedible capsule, but each seed is surrounded by a red-orange aril with a very tart tropical fruity flavor.

Breadfruit 面包果 美国商店有卖的，两三磅一个，吃法真跟做面包有点象，蒸煮烤不说，吃的时候还得抹黄油。 Breadfruit is high in carbohydrates and vitamin B and, when fully ripe, is a fair source of vitamin C and calcium. The starchy globes resemble white potatoes in taste and versatility, yet have their own character. To steam, use breadfruit at any stage of ripeness. Steam whole and unpeeled breadfruit, or peeled and quartered, one hour or until tender.To boil, place whole breadfruit in boiling water to float, for one hour or until tender. Or, boil peeled, cubed breadfruit in salted water to cover until tender. To bake, place a soft, yellow-brown breadfruit in a baking pan, with water covering the pan bottom. Bake at 350 degrees one hour or until tender. Serve the steamed, boiled or baked breadfruit with butter (or Butter Buds), salt and pepper.

Unknown "They are “not for humans” but some birds eat them. Of course, I had to try one. They are intensely sweet and fig-like. I tried only a small amount. After a few seconds you get a chili-like burning sensation on the tongue wherever the fruit was in contact. The strong sweetness lingers, but I take the burning as a warning. I decided that I had experimented enough. The seeds are one or two shiny black kernels which are so hard that you have to crack them with a hammer. Inside the thick shell is a nut-like core which is also very sweet."--Posted in On Tthe Road, Photography Tricks on April 20th, 2011 by MadDog http://www.messersmith.name/wordpress/tag/canoe/

edulis La Lie ex Lex 乔木，高达15米。叶具长柄，3— 7小叶，多数为6小叶：小叶椭圆形至卵圆形，长12．6厘米，两棉 毛。花序大，腋生或顶生，花淡黄绿色。果实球形似苹 果，直径7．6—10厘米，光滑，淡黄绿色；果实软，奶油色，富含蛋白质，维生索C和A，味甜, 可食；种子3—5粒，长圆形，扁平，无胚乳。广州 及云南南部有引种栽培。果鲜食食，价值仅 次 于香蕉、无花果和海枣。 The genusCasimiroa of the family Rutaceae was named in honor of Cardinal Casimiro Gomez de Ortega, a Spanish botanist of the 18th Century*. It embraces 5 or 6 species of shrubs or trees. Of these, 3 shrubby species, C. pubescens Ramirez, C. pringlei Engl. and C. watsonii Engl., are apparently confined to Mexico and he received scant attention. An additional species,C. emarginata Standl. & Steyerm., was described in 1944, based on a single specimen in Guatemala. It may be merely a form of C. sapota, below.
[*The genus Casimiroa was actually named after Casimiro Gomez, an Otome Indian from the town of Cardonal, Hidalgo, Mexico, a martyr of Mexico's war of independence.] Of the 3 larger-growing forms, the best known is the common white sapote, called zapote blanco by Spanish-speaking people, abché or ahache by Guatemalan Indians, and Mexican apple in South Africa, and widely identified as C. edulis Lle & Lex. The matasano (ormatazano), C. sapota Oerst., is often not distinguished fromC. edulis in the literature and the name matasano has been applied to other species in various localities. The woolly-leed white sapote, known to the Maya as yuy and set apart in Guatemala as matasano de mico, has been commonly considered a distinct species, C. tetrameria Millsp., but it may be only a variant of C. edulis.

咖喱果 Curry tree ------Edible curry leaf
Small or medium sized tropical/subtropical tree. 咖喱叶 （印度咖喱的主要香料）
Purple-black fruited tree, most famous for its aromatic leaves that provide curry spice. Actual curry seasoning is a blend of ground cumin, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, red pepper, fenugreek, allspice, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, mustard, fennel and mace. In that mix, several of the ingredients, including mustard, cumin, coriander, fennel and cinnamon, are roasted separately before being ground and added to the other ingredients.
"咖喱果"
另外一种叫咖喱的植物果实
Lipstick tree, Annato. This erect shrub with large, glossy green, prominently veined leaves that can become a small tree several feet tall. It is grown as a garden ornamental less for its pale pink flowers, which last only one day, than for its highly decorative two-valved seed pods, covered with soft, deep red hairs.
Also called“Curry plant”----someone said they are edible curry red seeds(Annatto Seed, see below), not sure yet.
Annatto Seed (Bixa orellana) is a shrub or small tree related to the trees of tropical regions of the Americas. Approximately 50 seeds grow inside prickly reddish-orange, heart-shaped pods at the ends of the branches. The trees are literally covered by these brightly-colored pods, and one small Annatto tree can produce up to 270 kg of seeds. The seeds are covered with a reddish aril, which is the source of an orange-yellow dye. Its scent is described as “slightly peppery with a hint of nutmeg”. The indigenous Indians of Central and South American use these seeds to color their lips, giving this plant the name “lipstick tree”. Annatto Seeds contain protein, as well as alpha- and beta-carotenoids. Annatto oil is an emollient, and its high carotenoid content provides beneficial antioxidant properties. In body care products, Annatto oil provides antioxidant benefits while adding a rich, sunny color to soaps, creams, lotions, and shampoos.
Have you ever wondered where red curry get it’s color? It comes from the chalky red seeds of what my guide called the “curry plant”.

Camu-camu 卡姆果 卡姆果(Camu Camu fruit)是原產於秘魯共和國亞馬遜河上游的紫紅色果實。由於這種水果非常脆弱且不易保鮮，原本是一種除了原產地以外不為人知的珍貴水果，如今正在受到 廣泛的關注，原因就在於卡姆果的天然維生素C 含量在全世界的水果中數一數二，其不僅受到飲食界的關注，在美容界也已成為熱門話題。卡姆果具有很高的經濟價值和良好的開發前景。
卡姆果 (Camu Camu fruit)外形似葡萄，果實直徑為２～３ｃｍ。果實成熟時呈現美麗的紫紅色。果肉幾乎為半透明的白色。味道極酸，這是因為卡姆果中含有劑量極高的天然維 生素Ｃ。卡姆果热是在亚马逊河流域 的热带雨林野生的灌木，高度约2～3m，有的时候也会 长到5m。它有很大的叶子，果实的直径为20毫米的圆形，表皮为明亮的红色，果肉为粉红色。果实中含有的维生素C的含量很高，是柠檬的50倍，橘子的30 倍，阿西罗拉樱桃的2倍左右。除此之外还含有丰富的维生素B1，维生素B2，烟酸。还大量含有对恢复疲劳，防止老化有特效的柠檬酸。卡姆果是在全世界的植 物中，被称为含有多种维生素C的秘鲁亚马逊原产的热带水果。
卡姆果的收获期是12月 至3月。在当地，从很早以前开始把它搾成果汁来饮 用。但是卡姆果特别不好保存，如果没有冷藏设施的话，长距离，长时间的运输是比较困难的。所以在其他的地域，几乎没普及。就是在卡姆果生长的地域之外的秘 鲁人，也是不知道卡姆果的存在的。在当地，防止皮肤干燥，预防感冒，便秘，抑制肥满，糖尿病，高血压等方面有效果。 Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) contains the highest concentrated source of naturally occurring vitamin C. When compared to orange, Camu Camu has thirty times more vitamin C along with ten times as much iron, three times as much niacin, twice as much riboflavin and fifty percent more phosphorus. It is also a significant source of potassium, minerals and amino acids. Camu-camu has anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, astringent, emollient and nutritive properties. The fruit also contains a wide variety of bioflavonoids that provide many benefits. The beta-carotene, riboflavin and niacin in Camu Camu promote healthy gums, eyes, skin, hair and nails.   Jaboticaba, or Brazilian grape tree. 巴西葡萄树果 Photo from OddityCentral.com Contrary to what it may seem, this wacky looking tree isn’t sprouting purple marbles: It’s ajaboticaba, AKA a Brazilian grape tree. This plant produces sweet, big, grape-flavored fruits that grow directly on the trunk—an evolutionary maneuver allowing non-climbing creatures to pick the fruits and disperse the seeds. And this is a bacupari—a wild-growing fruit native to South America, with a very sweet, slightly acidic flavor. Abiu. Photo from CloudForest.com. Abiu, the Amazon-native wild fruit pictured above, is said to be pretty tasty: Their “delicious flavour is reminiscent of crème caramel and it is sometimes used to flavour ice cream and make other desserts,” according to Daleys Fruit Nursery. So there you have it: just a small sampling of the many wild fruits that can be sweet, flavorful, and (sometimes) doggone big without us humans breeding them for centuries. Interestingly, one reason wild fruits have a reputation for being more sour than cultivated kinds isn’t because they have less sugar, but because they have more vitamin C, which imparts an acidic flavor. According to a paper about wild fruits in South Africa that I’ll be discussing in the next section: The composition of these [wild] fruits does not appear to differ much from the better-known domestic fruits except in so far as their vitamin C content is substantially higher than that of domestic fruits. The high vitamin-C content of the wild fruits must undoubtedly contribute to their characteristic acidity.  馬蘇庫果 Masuku fruit. 看起来似乎是弥猴桃的非洲亲戚 Photo by Douglas Boldt of boldt.us. 非洲加蓬馬蘇庫Masuku地区里出这种美味的Masuku馬蘇庫果，除了 人们喜欢吃，还有谁来吃? 食果大蝙蝠。每年秋季在盛产食果大蝙蝠的赞比亚卡桑卡国家公园，人们可以见到世界上规模最大但又最鲜为人知 的动物迁徙——食果蝙蝠迁徙。每天傍晚，大约800万只稻草色的食果蝙蝠会像乌云一般将公园上空遮得严严实实，然后会俯身飞向树丛中的野生水果 masuku饱食一顿。这些体型较大、密密麻麻、飞起来一声不响的蝙蝠群几乎完全挡住了日落时分的光线。Audley Travel旅行社每年提供一次为期一周的观看食果蝙蝠的旅游项目，收费? 4393美元。 Those are masukus, another wild fruit renowned for their sweet, delicious flavor. They might not be as visually pleasant as the store-bought fruit we’re used to seeing, but they’re highly sought after throughout Africa due to their taste.  姜汁面包果 Gingerbread plums. Image from "Lost Crops of Africa." Gingerbread plums are a wild African fruit with sweet, crunchy flesh reminiscent of strawberries. They’re considered one of the yummiest wild foods in Malawi. When they’re in season, many communities rely on gingerbread plums as a dietary staple, according to “Lost Crops of Africa.” 以上4种是非洲水果

The seeds have a sweet, floury paste and can be dried and ground into flour for baked goods, or made into a syrup as a sweetener or flavoring for baked goods, coffee and chocolate. Native peoples have also fermented the seeds to make alcoholic beverages, such as aloja 顺便说，中国某学者和一些植物书籍里面把智立的国花＂光荣花＂给按照当地人的wild lilies 叫法误当成了＂野百合花＂，＂野莲花＂，害得不仅前两个月民运媒体在欢呼智立的民主运动时题目就大喇喇地写着＂野百合运动＂，连互连网也全都一致地把人家的国花给改了。这运动亏不亏?
