進入盛夏,亦是假蘋婆成熟之時。假蘋婆,又稱七姐果,花果奇特,種子可食,也可以榨油。假蘋婆莖皮纖維可織麻袋、麻布和造紙,葉亦是跌打藥材。
花無花瓣,伸展開的小紅星,是它的開裂萼片。夏天結出蓇葖的果,五粒,成掌形放射狀,未成熟的果為綠色,成熟則是鮮紅色。成熟的果實遠看就像一個個炸開的紅色果子,裏面一顆顆黑珍珠般的種子。
Midsummer is the time when the Lance-leaved Sterculia matures. Also known as Sterculia lanceolata, it has peculiar flowers and fruits, edible seeds and oil can also be pressed from it. Its stem bark fiber can be woven into sacks, linen cloth and paper, and the leaves can be made into Chinese medicinal materials.
Its flower has no petals, and the open little red star is its split sepal. In summer, the fruit of follicles, in five, is palm-shaped and radial, the unripe fruit is green, and the mature fruit is bright red. The ripe fruits look like red fruits exploded from a distance, with black pearl-like seeds inside.
