New food discovery day! Sakoamanga or Sakoa are the fruit of Poupartia, trees endemic to Madagascar and nearby islands in the family Anacardiaceae. Especially delicious with plenty of salt.

New publication by Noro Fenitra H. Randrianarimanana making sense of all the grasses allegedly introduced to Madagascar: abcjournal.org/index.php/ab... . Not a small job resolving the accumulated errors perpetuated across the literature @rbgkew.bsky.social

Grass race between Cymbopogon, Lolium, and Melinis. Pretty close, all first germination might have been on day 4. Lolium (ryegrass) is ahead with the first green shoot over 1cm. Cymbopogon (lemongrass) is second with tiny green shoots. No vertical shoots on the Melinis nerviglumis.
