The Dynamite tree (Hura crepitans)

Boh Ruda; The Dynamite tree; Hura crepitans

These trees and fruits can be found in Aceh as well as in the Caribbean where the sap from the tree is used for the poison of arrows. It's also known as the Dynamite tree, so named for the explosive sound of the ripe fruit as it splits into segments. In Aceh, this fruit is known as "boh ruda" because of its shape that resembles the wheel. But through these pictures I want to say, I also like the flower.

A man without a smile:
This is a kitchen without a tile,
This sea without a seagull,
This is a house without a mistress,
It's a cat without a tail,
This is the tail without a cat!
Smile always
and a good day!))))

Nice poetic words, @sokoloffa. I like it, and good day to you too. And here's my big smile 😁. LOL

On me, we called it Boh Campli Buta. Is it same?

Ooo.. ternyata berbeda. Hehehe

Amazing plant! I haven't ever seen it before! Can we eat the fruit? I especially like the flower, too. It's very bright and colorful!

Thanks, @tangmo. I think this fruit can only be used for the treatment ...

You're welcome! That's really great! ;)

Very beautiful flower but killer

Thanks Mr. @askari. And yes, according to a source, it can explode if it's ripe, and could hurt anyone near it.
