Lata Kekabu - Revisit2 - Flora

By Idris Talu

Welcome back to Lata Kekabu, an ideal place for relaxing, reducing tensions and more interesting, back to nature.

Just after the first wooden bridge crossing the river, on the right hand side of the path, I found a tree with these kinds of fruits. During old days, my village's folk named it as "buah mangandeh" (looks like kandih or kandis).

The fruits taste sweet while fully ripe, but people don't like it because of the sharpness of the fruit's seed.
