Plicosepalus acaciae is a semiparasyte growing on acacia trees. Previously I posted a flower picture, http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo128548.htm
This time I managed to see the fruit. The fleshy fruit contains sticky seeds, they are glued on bird's beak. The birds try to get rid of it on a branch, thus dispersing the seeds.
