    Looks a bit like Cocoloba, sea grape.

    Just googled what you said Strongy and that is the plant I meant. Thanks for telling me the name.

    Thank you all, it was luck really with the Allspice - I happened across it in the RHS book as I was looking for something else [​IMG]

    I have no idea about the next one but I think Kedi and Strongy may have got it.

    Oh and pete, if you do have some spare seed I would be very interested [​IMG] Apparently they should be collected when ripe but still green and sowed straight away.

    Strongy and KG, you got there, well done.
    Blackthorn I'll make a note that you would like some seed, but please remind me about October.

    The leaves remind me of a Gloriosa but look a bit too wide. Do they use the end bits to twine around other plants?

    Looks a little like Ficus Racemosa but the veining is too prominent.
