flowering plants. What is considered to be the real fruit is the seed that is wrapped by a
fleshy aril layer. Melinjo has a lean, pungent and always green tree, with very straight
stems, 5-10 m tall; the bark is gray, marked by real protruding bracelets; branches of
various sizes and located around the stem, continue to the base of the beans. The branch
thickened at the base. The leaves are opposite, jorong-shaped, sized (7.5-20) cm x (2.5-
10) cm; secondary bone leaf curved and united at the end. The inflorescence is aloof and
out of the leaf's armpit, also from the old crevice stem, 3-6 cm long, with flowers
arranged in circular form in his books. Female flowers as much as 5-8 buds on each book
inflorescence, rounded shape and pointed to the end. Melinjo does not produce true
flowers and fruits because it does not include flowering plants.
