koniere
n. tree, 12-13 m tall (collection: Gregory M. Plunkett #3089)
Example: The nut inside of the fruit contains sap. Cut a fruit in half and stick it to a person’s arm, and then take it off, put earth on the place where the sap is, and it makes a temporary tatoo that lasts for 3-4 days. This fruit is the best flying fox food, and when the tree has ripe fruits many flying foxes go there to feed, and hunters know this. The fruits are eaten by people as well.
