Creeping Plant: "Fur Fruit for Monkey" :D

in #nature6 years ago

HI EVERYONE!

Know this plant? When looking at the feathers on this fruit, we would think that this is rambutan. When we see the flesh, it will look like the passion fruit flesh.

Well, when we see the trunk grows creeping, then we would think that this is a grape plant.

|||| However, it was not as expected. This is a wild rambutan from the forest, which we often call by the name "rambutan for monkey". It's a strange name, but at least that's the name given by the ancients, in our place.


Fruit

If we look closer, this fruit looks like a tiny green pumpkin. In the photo above shows the shape of the fruit, and it will ripe soon. The fur that closes it begins to run out and displays the fruit intact. Unlike in the first picture, when the fruit is young, and there is protective fur.


Almost Ripe

When this fruit will change color, from green to yellow, then over time the feathers on the outer skin of this fruit are rotten and disappear.


Fastener

It's commonplace if the vines need a binder/natural fastener like this can help it to creep on the branches and other trees.


Leaf

Besides fruit, This plant leaf also has a feather, but the fur is fine, not too rough and large as in the circle of fruit. The leaves are not too wide, maybe just as wide as the grape leaves.


|||| In Latin, this fruit is called "Passiflora foetida". Widely grown in the forests of the archipelago and in Africa.

HABITAT:
This plant is usually found mixed with herbs and other bushes. In the garden, dry fields, moor, curbs, sand beaches, forest edges and parts of the forest are exposed and illuminated by the sun.
