in #culture7 years ago

Hallo steemians, this time I will discuss about Jeumpa flower. Jeumpa flower (Michelia champaka) or also called Cempaka Kuning, is one of about 50 species of members of the genus Michelia. Jeumpa flower is a tree or shrub that has a height between 3-6 meters. Has a flower that smells fragrant and colored orange, yellow or cream white, rather large size, strands of flowers arranged in a lot of strands. Chocolate fruit consists of 2-6 seeds. This flower oil is used as a perfume. Jeumpa flower is the identity flora (mascot) of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam province.

Jeumpa or Cempaka Yellow flowers are from India and spread from India, Indo China, Indo China, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Jeumpa flowers grow on the edge of the forest on fertile soil at an altitude of up to 1500 m asl.

Propagation of the flower identity of the province of Nanggroe Aceh Darusaalam can be done easily through the seeds that will grow approximately 3 months after the seeds are spread and within 4 - 5 years the tree has produced flowers. In Indonesia, this Flower has several local names such as;

Jeumpa (Aceh),
Earthquake, Earthquake (Gayo),
Campaga (Minangkabau),
Campaka Koneng (Sunda),
Cempaka Kuneng (Java) Kenghang Koneng,
Compaka Koneng (Madura),
Campaka, Campaka Barak, Campaka Warangan (Bali), Campground Mariri (North Sulawesi),
Campaka (Gorontalo),
Flower Macela, Cepaga (Bugis),
Sampakak (Seram),
Cupaka (north Halmahera),
Capacity Goraci (Ternate).

The use of Jeumpa flowers, among others, can be used as a mixture on herbs or used for hair fragrance or mixed with other ingredients to be used as perfume. The flowers can be extracted for perfume or a perfume mixture on cosmetics.

Thank goodness this beautiful and fragrant flowers are not included in the category of rare flora because it is still widely found in various regions in Indonesia. Both those that grow wild or are cultivated as ornamental plants.

May be useful. Greetings from aceh, bireuen, indonesia.
