      Dilleniaceae

      Dilleniaceae, also known as Dillenia family, has an interesting story. It is believed that the family got its name from a Greek word “dillen” which means “to split” or “to divide”. This is because the leaves of the plants in this family are often split or divided.

      One of the most fascinating members of the Dilleniaceae family is the Dillenia suffruticosa, also known as Simpoh Air. This plant has a remarkable adaptation, where it forms a symbiotic relationship with aggressive ants. The plant provides food and shelter for the ants, in return, the ants protect the plant from herbivores and remove parasitic insects.

      Another interesting plant in this family is the Dillenia indica, which is commonly known as Elephant Apple. This plant is often used in traditional medicine and is believed to have various health benefits including treating respiratory problems and digestive issues.

      Overall, the Dilleniaceae family is a fascinating group of plants with unique features and adaptations.
