seabear Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I got 3 kinds of seeds from <forest.go.th> - Tong Badan - Non tree ban - Khi lek ban The site <www.forest.go.th> was of no help. I googled 15 pages, no info. My books: "Flowering plants of Thailand by P. McMakin" and "Trees & Shrubs in Thailand by A. and J. Storrs didn't mention them. Where could I check now? seabear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soidog2 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Khi lek ban = fairly big tree with yellow flowers, leaves are edible. Very common. Thats the best I can do for you, the other ones I don't know ! Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bina Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 khi lek the leaves are pickled and jarred ; very tasty in soups and things... ill try to find the label as the latin name was listed on the ingredients (for here in israel) yep, have the thai speaker type in google, then u can get the latin name and go from there. thats how ive been doing it. oh, btw, make sure she uses thai gen (thai) and not issaan variations since often they haave different names for things and makes the initial search frustrating. (names for the different squashes and pumpkins a prime example) bina israel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joy16 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Tong Badan (ทรงบาดาล) is Scrambled Eggs. Non tree ban (นนทรีบ้าน) is Copper Pod or Yellow Flame or Peltophorum pterocarpum Back. Ex Heyne. Khi lek ban (ขี้เหล็กบ้าน) is Cassod Tree. Hope these help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
