Uvaria Hirsuta Fruit Plant

• Appearance: The plant is a slender, woody climber that can grow between 5 and 15 meters long, and it is notable for the brown, stiff hairs (indumentum) that cover the entire plant, including its leaves and stems. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, dark green on top and pale bluish-green underneath.
• Flowers: It produces yellowish-white flowers that eventually turn a dark red, growing singly or in pairs at the end of the branch axils.
• Fruit: The most distinctive feature is its fruit: cylindrical, orange, and covered in hairs, leading to its “Wild Rambutan” common name. The fruits are sweet and contain egg-shaped seeds.

• The plant is harvested from the wild for its edible fruits, which are esteemed locally and often sold in markets. In tribal cuisine, the berries are used to make sweet chutney or syrup.
• In traditional medicine, various parts of Uvaria hirsuta have been used to treat a range of ailments
