_Terminalia_ spp. across northern Au have so much interest, many spp. and wonderfully worthwhile challenges to identify .

If these were easy to identify and few in spp. i wouldn't have motivation and interest in identifying and learning these,
and would work in other challenging sightings in NatureMapr, including those of my own sightings which i have challenges identifying . I am motivated by the achievable challenges (not by the easiest).

I take note you're on holidays.
I hope you keep enjoying it !

I will see if I can borrow a ruler to get some measurements. I thought these would be relatively easy. I have avoided reporting mangroves on my holiday because they can be quite difficult.

Ripe fruits' (skin and flesh and seed and all at once) approximate diameter and approximate length ?

Clarifying, you wrote the seed length is about 10 mm long ?

Eg. the key requires us to know whether the whole ripe fruit measures less than 1.5 cm diameter or more than 1.5 cm diameter ?
I would only be making an assumption to think your seed length about 10 mm means the whole fruits' diameter of less than 1.5 cm?

We per se, cannot identify this sighting to species without this information.

Excellent botanist Russell Barratt who regularly works in The Kimberley region, including the taxonomy of Kimberley Terminalia spp.,
may know more field spotting features and gestalts recognitions, of all the Kimberley Terminalia species to identify this species by these five photographs.
Perhaps you have heard of him?
