An aquatic plant called 'Emparuk'

Emparuk (Malay) - Limnocharis flava
Location : Stream at Zone F
This is a small start.  I have begun to cultivate the 'Emparuk' a flowering aquatic plant at the park.  It loves the muddy places and slow moving streams.  The plant is edible.  Its flowers, shoots and young leaves can be fried or eaten as salad by dipping it in warm water first or grilled.  For more images of the Emparuk please check them out in my blog on plants here
