Oncoba - data from an old book: includes the MAYNA group.
Genus includes about 22 species of trees and shrubs, native of tropical
and sub-tropical Africa and America.  The fruit of O.spinosa has a hard
shell, which is applied to ornamental and other purposes in Guinea [sic]
I wonder what the other purposes are??? Good luck with growing it.
Shall you make a necklace or use it for other purposes???
Mayna - South American shrubs and trees, polygamous flowers arranged in
racemes, round fruit covered in prickles [as horse chestnut]
Hope this is a little bit of help in growing your exotic, sounds
interesting,
Regards, Gay
