I have also seen the common asystasia (A. intrusa?) that the kampung people love to grow. I read from a website that it can be eaten and used as a survival food when your are lost in the jungle. The link is as follows:<br /><br />http://survival.forestexplorers.com/asystasia.shtmlAutumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-63817559998062922862011-04-03T22:49:08.020+08:002011-04-03T22:49:08.020+08:00hi Autumn Belle!

I'm from Singapore & two types of Asystasia, Asystasia coromandeliana (Malay name aka ruas-ruas) and Asystasia intrusa, are common weeds here. they're really pretty weeds though, and I'm often tempted to pluck them from the roadside & bring them home! By the way, you have a lovely blog & I look forward to your future posts =))Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378845051840075487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-90075697496394861452011-04-02T06:25:46.677+08:002011-04-02T06:25:46.677+08:00Hi, Everyone!
