The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

Student’s Tea with Ms Anita Sebastian

Host: V Santhosh

Anita Sebastian is a local writer and editor. She is a zoologist by
training from the National University of Singapore.

The Ranger Anne series is inspired from her time working at the
Night Safari in Singapore many years ago. The series is aimed at
instilling an appreciation for animals and nature in young readers.
Anita’s books were launched at the Singapore Writer’s Festival
2015.

The Ranger Anne series is endorsed by Mr Bernard Harrison,
former CEO of Wildlife Reserves Singapore. Anita was featured on
938Live on the “Women of Worth” segment where the Ranger
Anne series was discussed.

Anita jokes about the cycle of life often. She went from Zoology to
publishing and public relations, and now, she is somehow back in
Zoology again. On a serious note, Anita hopes that her books
would inspire a new generation of zoologists who would care for
the animals and the environment.
