Request ID. Apocynaceae ?

[Germain Vital]

Dear members,

Observation: 10/02/23. Riung District, Flores, Indonesia.

Description: It is a small tree that can reach a height of 3m (from my observations). Presence of white latex. Whorled phyllotaxis. Orange berry like fruit. From non-direct information, he would have small white flower.

But in Apocynaceae familly there is no berry like fruit species right ? Except this character, all those informations lead me to an Apocynaceae.

Habitus: Very common in all dry tropical forest with sea influenced climate. Up to an altitude of 400m.

Use: The plant would be used to facilitate the childbirth (and abort)

First ID: Ochrosia sp. ?

Kind regards,

[Swamy Kusom]

We have berries in Apocynaceae  ex: Rauwolfia, Carissa...

The inside of the fruit appear like

So it can be from a Caricaceae related family:

I could not go any further.
