"In a recent study on the uses of non-native plants by Malay villagers in Negeri Sembilan, the author found that these villagers, who were living close to secondary forests, had been for several generations using non-native plant species for ‘traditional’ medicine and foodstuffs. While some of these plants were planted around the homegardens for household use, many non-native plants were common in the secondary forests and had long acquired local names. On the one hand, this incorporation of non-native species in the local traditional knowledge is anthropologically interesting because it demonstrates the resilience of indigenous peoples. On the other hand, it raises concern that the challenge to stop the spread of non-native species may be very difficult."
