I am looking for someone who might be able to identify a fruit 
collected on a Pacific island circa 1940s.  I can provide an image.

Intriguing question. I wonder if it is still edible? But as a Pacific island inhabitant, I feel obliged to murmur quietly that there are more than a few Pacific Islands (some 20,000 to 30,000) and that the bounds of the Pacific Ocean permitting the growth of fruit include a sizeable part of the planet.  Perhaps a more precise geographic designation would be useful in this instance?
