Madol on the property of Semense. Accompanied by guide Mark
Kostka.
Tree ~15m. Leaves deeply lobed, glabrous above, velcro-like
pubescence below. Veins lime green above. The fruit gets to be
about the size of fist, flowers are loosly packed. White latex
throughout. Local name Mei serihseng or Meinseriseng (means
"baby's cry" because the fruit cooks very quickly and can be quickly
prepared for a crying baby). This is a rough (meinsahrek) variety.
