Looks like fruits of Psychotria asiatica 山大刀 to me Author: kmatthew Time: 15/06/2015 10:40
I thought it should be 常山 Dichroa febrifuga? quite commonly seen at TPK. Author: derekhon2 Time: 15/06/2015 11:25
Thx for information.
Interested in this kind of colorful fruit and have a question in mind "so juicy fruit, why the birds do not like it"
While I was watching the fruit, a small folk of Silver-eared Mesia came and were playing around.
One of them picked one and ate, but seemed not tasty.

I have seen Mountain Bulbuls and Chestnut Bulbuls eat them before, but they never seem to gorge on it though, just seen them eat one or two. Author: wcaptain Time: 15/06/2015 14:32
My id is wrong. A plant expert said the id by Matthew is right.
