Dioscorea bulbifera is in the Yam family and grows as a liana. The objects illustrated above are in fact bulbils or tubers that grow like fruit. The bulbils above were collected with drift seeds from Serasa Beach, BSB, Brunei, Borneo. When found dried on the beach these tubers are frequently confused with the much more fleshy fruit of Morinda citrifolia. M. citrifolia is a common beach tree with large white smelly potato shaped fruit known as Noni Fruit-see below.
