Actually, I refer to <a href="http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/kamias-iba-belimbing" rel="nofollow">belimbing</a> as another name for kamias or iba, not <a href="http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/balimbing-carambola-star-fruit" rel="nofollow">BALIMBING (Starfruit or Carambola)</a>, which is altogether another fruit, though both are cousins. I have a post on kamias and iba <a href="http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/kamias-iba-belimbing" rel="nofollow">here </a>which talks about it some more. As for wikipedia, I generally find it interesting but you must be careful about using it as your only or main source of information, as it is not always reliable... in this case, however, I suspect the issue is simply one of a similar spelling... BALIMBING is different from BELIMBING. :) Ricka, thank you for your comment.

Kamias has smooth surface and balingbing has edges (as they say, balimbing has several sides/faces - like the politicians in the Philippines! :) Thanks for the info Marketman regarding kamias. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_sorrel however refers to balingbing which is totally different from kamias.

I have another use for kamias though: for those who still do the laundry manually, after washing, you could use the over ripe kamias to your hands, it will help cleanse the soap totally.
