Huxiang's natural calendar 丨 Jinghong glance at the wind and place, "wealth" is boundless

Thursday, September 29, 2022, Day 7

In the early autumn, deep into the mountains of Xiangbei and Xiangxi, it is possible to find the legendary "cash cow."

The forest sponge of the Wuling Mountains and the Xuefeng Mountains stretches, and a tall tree is growing at a wet hillside or ravine at an altitude of 1,000 to 2000 meters. Every fall, these trees will produce purple -red and round wings. Usually two fruits are born in a fruit stalk, and a circular "wings" around the fruits are like a rotating skirt.

In the early autumn, the "skirt" was still green. As the autumn gradually became golden, the wings were like a copper coin. Many winged fruits form a string, rustling in the autumn wind, as if a hanging copper coin gently hit. This is money, named after its fruit shape.

The money of "making money" does not want to leave "money" at all. After the autumn, the mature mother trees in the wing fruit tried to use the wind to use the wind to be widely landed for the "children", so that they took the "copper coins" to take root in each other.

After all, if the seeds fall around the mother tree, a large family is squeezed together, which will inevitably cause insufficient land nutrition supply and cause the subsequent reproduction. No wonder the mother tree "Guang San family's wealth, send a child to start."

Money 有 is a unique oligopoly plant in China, and has passed through the ancient tree species that crosses the fourth discipline. For botanists, they have irreplaceable value in clarifying the origin and evolution of certain groups, research on plant zone and geographical distribution.

However, researchers to find money are not easy. As a "money tree", they are poor and have been listed as national protection plants.

【Little Business Card】

Money 双, alias, two -wheeled fruit, is a deciduous tree without a child. It is 15 meters high, and the leaves are raw, which is a strange number of feathers. In the early summer, white flowers are bloomed, and the male and female are the same plant.

Distributed in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places. It is generally grown in forests or sparse forests at an altitude of 1000 to 2000 meters.
