Nature writes its own story. This self-twisted liana is a masterpiece sculpted by time. Rather than wrapping around another tree, it has slowly twisted upon itself over many years. As the vine continued to grow, natural forces such as gravity, wind, changing weather, and its own weight gradually shaped its remarkable form. Every twist is a chapter in its long journey—a silent record of resilience, adaptation, and survival in the forest.

Looking at it, one can’t help but wonder how many seasons, storms, and generations of forest life it has witnessed. Every curve seems to hold thousands of untold stories that only the forest remembers.

Mimosa pigra is categorized as a highly aggressive invasive w**d. It spreads rapidly along roadsides, open fields, and wetlands, choking out native vegetation and forming dense, impassable thorny thickets.

We visited our friend in Ranau while preparing for our next Forest Herbs Trail. She shared her traditional knowledge about one of the invasive plants.

She smiled and said, “It’s a blessing in disguise that not many people know the true value of this plant. Otherwise, you might not be able to find it anywhere anymore.”

Sometimes, the greatest treasures of nature are the ones that remain quietly hidden until the time is right to appreciate and protect them.

Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Roscoe ex Sm.

This plant is Lampoyang. It has been traditionally used for generations.

The flower pod contains a natural juice that can be used as a shampoo. In the forest, we simply press the pod to release the juice, apply it to our hair, and leave it on for a while before rinsing.

If you have a headache or migraine, you can gently massage the flower pod over your scalp where the pain is.

The tuber is also edible. You can eat it raw or make it into a tasty sambal.

Lampoyang is a wonderful example of how one forest plant can provide both food and traditional wellness.

Our First Courtesy Visit
Backdated 6 July 2026

For our very first courtesy visit, we chose to visit Sekolah Adat Anak Negeri Sabah (SAANS).

And honestly… (my thoughts), we made the perfect choice.

The place was so peaceful, and President Shalmon Sanangan and his team welcomed us so warmly. They also prepared activities for us, and along the way, so many stories and historical knowledge were shared.

The more we listened, the better it got.

We had such a meaningful discussion about future plans and the possibilities of working together. We left feeling inspired, hopeful and excited about what may come next.

truly hope that what we discussed will grow into something meaningful and successful for both sides.

Sometimes, the first step brings you exactly where you are meant to be.

Nice book! We especially love the back cover. We actually saw that kind of liana myself during my recent forest expedition, it was such a wonderful experience.

Anthony “Tony” Lamb… what a remarkable man and legacy. The last colonial officer of North Borneo, yet also one of Sabah’s great naturalists and storytellers of our flora. Reading about him makes me appreciate our forests even more.
