Luaia Nampui
The Bountiful Forest.
These are the biggest known fruits of any creeper found in the forest in this part of the world.These are not edible. The local name is KAWI (pronounced KOI)(P.S-Bot.name:Entada pursaetha, Sea Bean)
The fruit grows about 2 feet in length and the seed grows upto 3 inches in diameter.
In the earlier era when life was simple and basically agrarian, without cable TV and mobile phones, the children played games with these seeds and is, therefore, associated with the traditional games of the area. It now has been totally forgotten and relegated and consigned at best as a showpiece.
