Bangkok says... 1. Chammaliang (Lepisanthes fruticosa Leenh) The synonyms of this species are Otophora cambodiana Pierre, Otophora fruticosa Blume, and Otophora resecta Radlk. Chammaliang belongs to the Sapindaceae family. It is found distributed in Thailand, Myanmar and Indo-China. It is mostly found growing as a home garden plant, and is only occasionally cultivated. 1.1 Vernacular names There is no English name for this species. Mojowontu (Indonesia); setengok (Malaysia); linaunau (Tagalog), buli-buli (Bisaya), ara (Ibanag), (Philippines); kandak (Cambodia); kwad khaaz (Laos); and chammaliang, phumriang (central), mathao (north), (Thailand). 1.2 General description Chammaliang is a shrub or small tree, usually 4-7 m tall. Leaves are usually paripinnate, 1-14-jugate. The leaf is ovate and acute at the apex, 7-21 × 2-3 cm in size, with a round stipule. The leaf is thick and shiny. Inflorescences 10-20 cm long are borne on branches and stems. The inflorescence contains perfect and non-perfect flowers. The flower has 5 purple sepals and petals. The petals are quite similar to the sepals, but are thinner. The flower is 0.3-0.4 × 0.5-0.6 cm in size. In Thailand the chammaliang flowers around December-January. The fruit is a subglobose to ellipsoid berry up to 4 cm in diameter. At ripening, it is dark red to black. The flesh is sweet. The seeds are subglobose to semi-ellipsoid, flattened on one side, and can grow up to about 2 cm in diameter. Propagation is done by seed germination. 1.3 Uses The fruit can be eaten fresh, as it is sweet when ripe. The seeds are eaten roasted. The root is used in a compound poultice to relieve itching and to lower temperature during fever. 1.4 Prospects There is no prospect for developing chammaliang into fruit orchards. It may be used as an ornamental plant in landscaping due to its attractive form. I found it, now i want to know if it's nice. | About the Author Bangkok thailand 3rd September 2015 1:32am #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
