    Where in tropical Malay was the leaf taken from? By tropical I mean domestic or indian forest. The picture only narrows it down to @ 1 in infinity. It would help to Know the medicinal /mystical properties of the plant.

    A picture would be good to.
     
  3. it is supposed to be only found near indian temples, not exactly forested areas. Prob the indians use it for medicines?

    It is supposed to be reduce swollen livers.

    i do not have a pic of the tree cuz i don't stay there. it was delivered to us to singapore. will try to get a pic though...

    i thought the leaf should be quite unique cuz of the way the upper leaf margin curves with the midrib. by the way, the upper leaf margin (upper as in reference to the picture), is not broken off, it looks like this in all the leaf samples i received.
