Blue-fruited Barringtonia or Cassowary Pine (Barringtonia calyptrata)
As the name suggests this fruit is eaten by Cassowaries and other wildlife in New Guinea. The strong blue colouration is like a strong display for wildlife to find these fruits and disperse the seeds far and wide thus helping the propagation and the survival of this species.
