Pandanus affinis at front and in the background is the Anisophyllea disticha. Location : Botanic Island One |
At Botanic Island One recently are seen two species of jungle plants that exhibited their rare fruits. One is the Pandanus affinis and and secondly the Anisophyllea disticha which the Penans of Sarawak call " Kayu Penahan Badan". I have elsewhere written about the use of the Kayu Penahan Badan as a plant for bodily welfare here.
