internet meme/urban legend regarding "udambara flower"
editThere have been a rash of recent news articles discussing the "rare udambara flower, which blooms only once every 3000 years" - as far as I have been able to tell, this is an "urban legend", and the photographs of this "flower" are all photographs of lacewing eggs. I suspect it is only a matter of time before some well-meaning editor attempts to insert some of this into this Wikipedia article, so consider this a heads-up that there are NO RELIABLE SOURCES for the claims, nor the photos.

I think this info and its link needs to be questioned: “The Ovambo people call the fruit of the cluster fig eenghwiyu and use it to distill ombike, their traditional liquor.[7]” It refers to people on the southwest coast of Africa brewing their drink from a fruit that is actually a fruit found in Asia, to begin with. The info at the link also only refers to some fig cluster, not this specific wild fig. There a different wild figs forming clusters. Mieliestronk (talk) 17:33, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
