Little Bug In The Middle of Spines

I have been searching this plant's name using Google Image but i did not find anything similar like this plant. So i asked my mother and i got its local name. My mother used to have the seeds of this spiny fruit as marbles to play Congklak. It is one of a folk games that i love to play in my childhood. Specially in Ramadhan.

So, my mother tried hard to remember the name. Seems like she almost forgot it. Several minutes later, she screamed it out loud and told me that this plant is Boh Geutuet. What a relieved!

I found this spiny plant in an island in Aceh Besar. We camped on a beach that night. Next morning, we crossed the bay by a boat to the island to see some things i was not quitely sure. But my attentions went to some plants that i never see them before. Like this one. I was amaze how that black bug was walking on the spines like it couldn't harm it even a little.

I don't know what its name in English or Bahasa Indonesia. If you know anything about this plant, please let me know. Thank you.


Saya sudah mencari nama tanaman ini dengan menggunakan Google Image, tapi tak ada satu pun gambar yang muncul serupa dengan gambar yang saya miliki. Lalu saya bertanya ke Mamak di rumah karena dulu waktu kecil, saya diwarisi beberapa puluh biji dari buah berduri ini untuk permainan Congkak atau Congklak. Bijinya berwarna abu-abu dan bulat seperti kelereng.

Mamak saya mengingat-ingat terus namanya. Tentu saja dia bisa lupa, sudah belasan tahun Mamak tak melihat rupa tanaman itu lagi. Beberapa menit kemudian, Mamak berseru menyebutkan namanya: Boh Geutuet! Ah, lega deh akhirnya ketahuan juga naman tanaman ini.

Saya menemukan Boh Geutuet ini di sebuah pulau di Aceh Besar. Saya bersama dengan rombongan mahasiswa Unsyiah, berkemah di pinggir pantai. Besok paginya, kami menyeberang ke pulau menaiki perahu. Saya kurang yakin sih apa yang sedang dicari di sana. Tapi perhatian saya tertuju pada beberapa tanaman yang belum pernah saya lihat sebelumnya. Seperti tanaman ini. Saya kagum melihat serangga kecil hitam itu berjalan di tengah duri-duri buah yang tajam dan keras tanpa terluka sedikit pun.

Jika kamu mengetahui nama tanaman ini, tolong beri tahu saya di kolom komentar di bawah ya. Terima kasih.
