lubi-lubi.JPGDon’t know much about botany, but this is the lubi-lubi in bicol that I know of (and my ancestors know of), the young leaves of which we thinly slice like spinach and cook in coconut milk like most of our delicacies.

Nope, the tree/plant is not fruit-bearing and i do not know its scientific name.

I searched google for the term lubi-lubi and found an entirely different species registered at the Phillippines’ Bureau of Plant Industry.

But the one in the photo is the lubi-lubi we know…promise! ;-)

It might be another song AnP, there’s no lubi-lubi in bahay kubo. :-D

Sorry I couldn’t take a closer picture of the leaves, would have been useful for taxonomy but, medyo mataas ‘yung payat na puno noh at medyo pandak ang lola niyo…so there!!
