I recently received seeds of a strange funky fruit from a friend in the Amazon. We have no idea what it is, and Jim West can’t tell from the photos that my friend sent to him either. There was a delay in getting the seeds here, but I stuck them in some soil two days ago, and they are already starting to sprout, so they seem like survivors!
It’s a medium-small tree that fruits in February/March at ~800m elevation in SE Ecuador. If anyone knows what it is, please don’t hesitate to comment.

Looks like cucurbitaceae but couldn’t say much beyond that. Brazil is not well known to me.
Was it growing on a vine?
Medium-small tree. I thought that I had photos of the leaves as well, but I can’t find them now.
Would you say the leaves are long ovals?
