Jeukakang Plant

Wild plants grow and develop in this world, these plants will flourish where there is a lot of grass that grows or where there is a yard overgrown with other shrubs. Among these wild plants there are also various species both in terms of color, shape, and other positive or negative impacts. In general they hitchhike and take shelter where there are other large wild plants, and sometimes among the ornamental plants, they also come without human intervention, they grow by themselves due to the process of other plants. This means that every time there is another plant, it will present itself suddenly.

As with wild plants on this one. This plant is always ignored by humans because it does not have its own uniqueness whether in terms of shape or other things that exist in ornamental plants that are preferred by humans. Personally the author is not known scientifically but he is often referred to in Acehnese as Bak Jeukakang. This Jeukakang plant also thrives where there are other wild plants or it often appears when there are pumpkin plants. This Jeukakang plant always grows between other plants. But you need to know that in this plant there is a sap that can damage your skin or if swallowed will cause the head to become dizzy because the sap tastes bitter and there are poisons that are unfavorable to humans.

It has fruit or seeds that grow on its leaf petals, the color of the fruit is green with a round shape and sometimes oval. If you peel the skin, you will see the flesh wrapped with thin skin, the contents of the flesh of this plant can cause nausea and dizziness for those who consume it. In our area this plant is always kept away because the effects of the sharp sap can make your body's skin become itchy, and when you scratch it will occur irritation and the head will eventually experience a wound caused by the sap.
