Our greenwave plant, the Cermai (also known as Malay gooseberry)was blooming and fruiting at the same time. We could see the reddish flowers together with the yellowish fruits on the stem.
It is a common village tree, with fruits cooked as a sour flavouring or acar. Its root is medicinal but poisonous. It is boiled and steam inhaled for cough, weak infusion drunk for asthma.
