Hello friends

This was clicked in the Palace gardens, Versailles, France in July 2022.

Requested to please ID.

The fruits (or so I thought) have a very peculiar shape.

Apologies for the quality of the pics.

Thanks and regards

I am sorry for the wrong orientation of the pics attached.

I tried multiple times, but cannot get it right.

I think it is some Staphylea species. But could not narrow down to the species level.

Actually I was surfing FoI website for some names and I stumbled upon this fruit pic there, so my assumption.

Yes Garg ji, It does resemble Staphylea colchica but cannot be conclusively decided.
