This painting depicts the fruit of the popular vine, kilipi (Bush banana / Marsdenia australis). The fruit and leaves of the plant can be eaten. The young fruit called ngamurrurru are the best to eat as they are soft and crunchy. They are found in the heavy rain time of the wet season. Older fruit become hard and chewy but they can be softened by lightly roasting on hot coals. The flowers can also be eaten. The leaves are called pinti or yurtu. They are good for you and are like eating lettuce or cabbage.
