This particular specimen of Daphniphyllum macropodum in the UBC Asian Garden is exhibiting some aberrant behaviour this year. The leaves are usually held upright or horizontal, with a tendency to hide the fruit. As you can see, these leaves are drooping, causing the fruit to be quite prominent. It makes for an eye-catching pattern.
Daphniphyllum macropodum was previously featured on BPotD.

Probably too wet at the root. Have also seen this species infested with Armillaria.
Agree with Ron, re. wet root...
Very interesting to see the fruit. It is always intersting to fine out why things like this happen.
Thank you,
