MATA PELANDOK (ARDISIA ELLIPTICA)

Thanks to a visitor by the name of Dr. Abdul Ghani Hussain, I managed to correctly identify the plant in the picture that was sent to me by a UiTM student who is doing research on it. The name of the plant is commonly known as Mata Pelandok.

Common names/Nama tempatan: Mata Pelandok, Lempenai, Shoebutton Ardisia, Inkberry

Scientific name/Nama saintifik: Ardisia elliptica or Ardisia littoralis.
