Palaquium is a genus of about 120 species of trees in the Sapotaceae family.[4] Their range is from India across Southeast Asia, Malesia, Papuasia and Australasia, to the western Pacific Islands.[3][5]
Description
Within their range, Palaquium species are mostly found in the Philippines and Borneo. In Borneo many species are recorded in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak.[5]
The leaves are typically spirally arranged and often clustered near twig ends. Flowers are mostly bisexual, though some unisexual instances are known. Fruits are one or two-seeded with rare instances of several seeds. Palaquium habitats are coastal, lowland mixed dipterocarp, swamp and montane forests.[5]
Some species, for example Palaquium gutta, are well known for producing gutta-percha latex.[5]
Species
As of November 2013[update] The Plant List recognises 120 accepted species:[6]
