==You’ve probably never heard of a tropical fruit called the seashore mangosteen.==

Even in Malaysia, where it’s known as the beruas, it is rare. But the fruits have a unique taste and a single tree can bear hundreds of fruits in a year. At the not-for-profit organization where I work near Kuala Lumpur, we are looking for new ways to put the beruas to good use &mdash; along with other neglected and underutilized crops throughout the world. 

In our research, we take [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:NusHub/gallery hundreds of beautiful pictures] of little-known plants. I realized that if only a fraction of these were shared on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons], it would greatly increase the availability of information on rare and useful crop species. 

So I've begun adding our photos to Wikimedia Commons, the free online media database. These images represent a unique source of knowledge. And now that they're available on Wikipedia, they can be used by students, botanists and crop researchers all over the world. 

Now, my colleagues and I are reaching out to our fellow crop scientists across the world, encouraging them to do the same. 

Wikipedia is a superb reference on so many topics. The best part is, it’s always growing. Thank you for helping Wikipedia thrive. 

''' &mdash; Mei Jiun Kwek'''

''Raised in Borneo, Mei Jiun Kwek now lives in Kuala Lumpur, where she earned her master’s degree in botany. Her thesis focused on the Rhizanthes species &mdash; a sister species of the parasitic [[w:Rafflesia|Rafflesia]], the largest flower in the world. She works at Crops for the Future.''
