Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Gutai durian is the most popular durian in Brunei. With the creamy orange flesh of its pineapple, it is no wonder that this is the only wild durian variety widely cultivated. Its fruity aroma is usually considered pleasant, and the local durian authorities think it may be the most suitable.

Gutai durian is the most popular durian in Brunei. With the creamy orange flesh of its pineapple, it is no wonder that this is the only wild durian variety widely cultivated. Its fruity aroma is generally considered pleasant, and the local durian authorities think it may be the most suitable for those who are not familiar with durian or are not familiar with durian Fangke.

I think it's so cute. Seen from the top, it looks like a corn-yellow five-petal flower, because the part of each seed is so swollen and obvious. It is usually very small; the largest fruit weighs less than 1 kilogram. The thorn is short and rough, and the shell is very thin, which makes it easy to break in with bare hands.

The pulp is dry and waxy, ranging from light orange to deep sunset red. In terms of taste, this is a completely different game. It is completely devoid of salty, garlic-flavored onions, which can make some people leave (and bring others closer). For us, it tasted a hint of strawberry and mango, like an avocado filled with the artificial spices of a tropical bear. One noteworthy detail is that, unlike other durians, flower stamens keep in touch with fruit when they mature. When the fruit falls, the stamens have only five long black stripes attached to the stem. I think it looks rough but cool.

Gutai durian is native to Borneo. It can now be found in other parts of the world, the most obvious being Java, although the trees don't look delicious. Claims that wild azaleas (Durio kutejensis) were found in Turkey in 1983 were largely rejected.

The durian is very popular and expensive in Brunei, while the area around the Sultanate is full of fruit. Rob and I saw a lot of Gutai durian in Meili and Mindulu area. I also heard that Balikpapan and Samarinda are common in eastern Kalimantan.

The name "Gutai" was given by a German botanist and its name is Justus Carl Hasskarl (I like rhymes! Why don't we do this in the United States? ). Haskell is working at the Botanical Garden in Bogor, Java, reorganizing his taxonomic family.

On that day, the organization of durian species was definitely a mess. Linnaean taxonomy is just beginning to be adopted, and botanists around the world are busy naming things to adapt to the new rules.

That's why dear Mr. Karl Haskell gave us the durian name Lahia kutejensis in 1858. I don't know what "Rachia" is, and apparently neither does anyone else. It is the only plant in the hypothetical genus, and as long as someone is smart enough to realize that this little durian belongs to Durio, the whole Lasia thing is discarded and disappears.

Almost. Even today, if you look up Gutai durian on Wikipedia, it will tell you that it is synonymous with Lahia kutejensis. Although the name has changed, Mr. Haskell continues to be praised, so all botanical literature lists this durian: "Gutai durian Hassk). Baker. "this is the title, but this is a very special durian.

Baker. Part of it is the second person involved in naming Gutai durian. Odoardo Beccari is considered to be one of the greatest botanists of the 20th century, and for good reason. The man spent three years searching for new plants in the jungles of Borneo. He is responsible for naming eight kinds of durian, including the reclassification of Gutai durian. Why he kept part of kutejensis, I don't know. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't find out what "kutejensis" meant, or what inspired the elder Carl Haskell to give durian inspiration.
