My first English name question was a bit easy I think so I wanted to narrow it down. If you are a Filipino, you must know what ALUG BATI is (I'm sorry if you don't).
The question is: What is its English name?
A clue would be this:
M---b-- N--h---a--
If you have studied Nutrition and Dietetics from the Philippine Normal University, you must know it 'cause I got it from a friend who studied there hehehehe...

According to the book "Healing Wonders of Diet" by Varona and Godoy English is Malbar night shade leaves and its scientific name is Basella Alba. Before I read this book all I knew was that it was Spinach - that which Popoye likes to eat.
