The Sembawang area in the early twentiethcentury was the site of the Nee Soon Rubber estate. During the colonial times, Sembawang was the home to a huge British naval base. Its construction began in 1928 and was completed in 1938. The base included dockyards, wharvesand workshops, as well as supporting administrative, residential and commercial areas. The Naval Base was handed over to the Singapore government in 1968, and was converted to a commercial dockyard known as Sembawang Shipyard. Today parts of the Sembawang area has developed into the Sembawang New Town where residential commercial and industrial zones mushroomed.

Aristolochia gigantea Aristolochiaceae Giant Dutchman’s Pipe A robust vine from Brazil, the Giant Dutchman’s Pipe is so called due to the unopened flower’s resemblance to an old-fashioned smoking pipe.

The insects escape when the hairs are relaxed as the pollen are released. Flower of Aristolochia gigantea, showing numerous stiff hairs for trapping pollinators Photos: Edmu…
