Dear Renee, Both seem Trewia species. The difference in the 2 sp is as below. Fruit 3 cm, globose, not splitting .......T. nudiflora Fruit 1 cm, ovoid, outer shell thin, splitting.................T. polycarpa
Male flowering plants identical in both sp. Female flowers solitary in nudiflora and racemose in polycarpa. Leaves and may differ but not characteristic. You have not mentioned the sizes of the fruits but as per above File 1 seems T. polycarpa and File 2 seems T. nudiflora provided sizes tally. SGNP has both species of Trewia.
