I share this image from our vacation, which is quite typical of southern Morocco. When there is literally nothing left to eat on the ground, the goats feed in the crowns of the argan trees (Sideroxylon spinosum, Sapotaceae, a Moroccan endemic).

Historical botanical illustration from "Atlas der Baumarten von Java" depicting Payena sericea from the Sapotaceae family. Detailed pencil drawings show various parts of the tree including flower clusters on a branch, multiple leaves of different ages and sizes, close-up views of flower anatomy, and the full tree habitus marked with a 5-meter scale for height. Each element is labeled with letters and scale fractions. The illustration highlights the structure and venation of leaves, flower details, and overall form of the tree for scientific study. The style is precise and technical, typical of early 20th-century botanical art.

タイ在住の日本人に「マヨ活」が人気
www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO...

マヨといってもマヨネーズではなく、高級果物「マヨンチット」のこと。

ビワのような見た目の、この果物を使ったスイーツの食べ歩きを「マヨ活」と呼んでいます。

2〜3月を中心に2カ月ほどしか味わえないこともあり、値段はマンゴーの4.5倍。

知名度がさらに高まれば、マヨ活目的のタイ観光も増えるかも？
