東革阿里，世界上最有價值的新植物
在過去 500 年的人類歷史中，曾有一些現在被視為第三世界籃子的國家，實際上是財富的籃子。
有時，這些財富籃子是自己管理的，有時，受益者是殖民國家。
但無論如何，這些財富都是由高價值的植物所創造的。
例如，加勒比海地區。
在 18 世紀下半葉，海地是地球上最富有的地方之一，主要是由於蔗糖的生產。
在 Google 上搜尋「海地最富有的殖民地」這個關鍵字，就會出現許多參考資料來證明這個事實。
如果您有時間閱讀資料齊全的歷史小說，您可能會喜歡 James Michener 的《加勒比海》中的題材。
在英國生物盜賊 Henry Wickham 於 1876 年將 70,000 顆樹種偷運出巴西，並在英國擁有的馬來亞建立橡膠種植園之前，巴西亞馬遜盆地的橡膠也是類似故事。.
19 世紀末，亞馬遜盆地最大的城鎮馬瑙斯（Manaus）因橡膠樹汁而財富滾滾，有能力建造世界上最豪華的歌劇院之一。
約 200 年前，即 17 世紀下半葉，印尼香料群島為當時荷蘭的政治力量提供了大量資金。到了 1669 年，荷蘭東印度公司 (VOC) 成為世界上最富有的公司，擁有一萬名士兵的私人軍隊和自己的軍艦艦隊。
好吧，如果有一天第三世界國家的植物也能創造財富的話，那麼印尼很可能會再次在其中扮演重要的角色。
但這次不是橡膠或香料。
因為最有可能的候選者是 tongkat ali，這種學名為 Eurycoma longifolia 的樹木擁有神奇的力量，能讓人變成阿諾施瓦辛格的混血兒、
我建議印尼政府好好看守它的邊境，這樣這一次，銅卡利的種子就不會被走私到巴西......甚至海地。
