Morinda citrifolia is a fruit-bearing tree in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Its native range extends across Southeast Asia and Australasia, and was spread across the Pacific by Polynesian sailors. The species is now cultivated throughout the tropics and widely naturalized. Among some 100 names for the fruit across different regions are the more common English names of great morinda, Indian mulberry, noni, beach mulberry, vomit fruit, awl tree, and cheese fruit. The fresh fruit's strong, vomit-like odor has made it a famine food in most regions, but it remains a staple food among some cultures and has been used in traditional medicine. In the consumer market, it has been introduced as a supplement in various formats, such as capsules, skin products, and juices. Morinda citrifolia grows in shady forests, as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. Noni has been used in folk remedies by Polynesians for over 2000 years, and is reported to have a broad range of therapeutic effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, antihelmin, analgesic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and immune enhancing effects. Morinda citrifolia fruit hangs from its branch at Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Sargachi at Beldanga, West Bengal; India on 22/6/2023.

The orange-headed thrush (Geokichla citrina) is a colourful shy singing bird in the thrush family that prefers to live in the damp secluded environment of the rural bush, in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas and can be quite secretive. The nest, built by both sexes, is a wide but shallow cup of twigs, bracken, and rootlets lined with softer plant material like leaves, moss, and conifer needles. It is constructed at a height of up to 4.5 meters (15 ft) in a small tree or bush, with mango trees and coffee bushes being preferred. Three or four, occasionally five, eggs are laid; they are cream or tinted with pale blue, grey or green, and have pale lilac blotches and reddish brown spots. They are incubated for 13-14 days to hatching, with another 12 days until the young birds leave the nest. This photo was taken in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 13/06/2022.
