TAMAN SUMBER


MATA ITIK (ARDISIA CRISPA)

Mata itik, sejenis tumbuhan liar yang tumbuh di kawasan belukar kecil dan berpaya dan amat mudah ditemui di kawasan kebun getah satu ketika dahulu kini amat sukar ditemui pupus, mungkin disebabkan penggunaan racun rumpai. Bahagian pucuknya dimakan bersama-sama sambal belacan atau sambal kelapa. Sesuai juga dijadikan bahan ramuan untuk nasi ulam. Pokok mata itik boleh menjangkau ketinggian hingga 1 meter tinggi berbanding pokok mata ayam yang lebih rendah. Daunnya licin dan lurus di bahagian tepi manakala pokok mata ayam mempunyai tepi daun yang berketak-ketak atau bergerigis. Bahagian pucuk muda boleh dipetik dan di makan.

Ardisia (coralberry or marlberry) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. It was in the former Myrsinaceae family now recognised as the myrsine sub-family Myrsinoideae.[1] They are distributed in the AmericasAsiaAustralia, and the Pacific Islands, mainly in the tropics.[2][3] There are over 700 accepted species.[4]One species, Ardisia japonica is one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine.

These are treesshrubs, and subshrubs. Most have alternately arranged leaves. Flowers are borne in many forms of inflorescence. The flowers have usually 4 or 5 green sepals and a bell-shaped corolla of usually 4 or 5 white or pink petals. The fruit is a somewhat fleshy drupe.[2][3] The defining characteristic of the genus is the small tube formed at the center of the flower by the stamens, which are joined at their bases.[5]
