What's wild about this, is that there are probably a huge number of fruits that were not even discovered yet at this time. For example, this fruit discovered in 2016 https://blog.pensoft.net/2016/02/12/new-species-with-heart-s...

> Just in time for Valentine’s Day, botanists from Hawai’i have discovered a new species of plant with small heart-shaped fruits. The new species is a member of the coffee family (Rubiaceae) and part of the genus Coprosma, which occurs across many remote islands of the Pacific Ocean. They named the new Hawaiian species after the symbol of love – calling it Coprosma cordicarpa – meaning the Coprosma with heart-shaped fruit.
