POKOK KUNCUR








Nama tempatan herba ini adalah kuncur.  Kuncur dimakan sebagai Ulam.  Pokok Kuncur dalam gambar-gambar di atas ditanam dibelakang Restoran Silaturahim di Teluk Batik, Manjung.
Saya belum dapat menjumpai nama botani pokok herba ini sampai sekarang.

ENGLISH VERSION
The local name for this herb is Kuncur.  It is eaten as a salad or ulam by the locals.  The above photographs of the plants were taken at the back of the Silaturahim Restaurant in Teluk Batik where the herb is planted. 
I have yet to find the Botanical name of this plant.  Can anyone help?
