Pohon
Sosis known as Sausage tree, Kigelia pinnata, the tree is evergreen
where rainfall occurs throughout the year, but deciduous where there is a
long dry season. The flowers (and later the fruit) hang down from
branches see the picture below:
They are bell-shaped, orange to maroon or purplish green, and about four
inches (10 cm )wide.Individual
flowers do not hang down but are oriented horizontally. Some birds are
attracted to these flowers and the strong stems of each flower make
ideal footholds.
Pohon Sosis found at Ancol dream land, last time visited.
The flowers are produced in panicles, Their scent is most notable at night indicating that they are adapted to pollination by bats, which visit them for pollen and nectar. They also remain open by day however, and are freely visited by many insect pollinators, particularly large species such as carpenter bees.
