Introduction |
Canarium sumatranum Boerl. & Koord.
- Protologue: Koord.-Schum., Syst. Verz. 2: 25 (1910).
Vernacular names
- Indonesia: damar lang (Palembang, Sumatra), benemil (eastern central Sumatra), anglip batu (Simeuluë)
- Malaysia: kedondong (Peninsular).
Distribution
Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra.
Uses
The wood is used as kedondong. The resin is used for torches.
Observations
- A large tree up to 50 m tall, bole straight, branchless for up to 21 m, up to 120 cm in diameter, bark surface smooth to roughly scaly, greyish-yellow to green, inner bark exuding a resin turning black, bole and branches thorny when young.
- Stipules absent or early caducous, inserted at the base of the petiole, narrow; leaves with 7-11 pairs of leaflets, often lacking a terminal leaflet, leaflets distinctly to gradually acuminate at apex, margin entire, glabrous, with 20-30 pairs of secondary veins which are visible on both surfaces.
- Inflorescence axillary, laxly paniculate.
- Male flowers 8-9 mm long, female ones 6 mm long, stamens 6.
- Fruit ovoid, rounded triangular in cross-section, 15 mm × 10 mm, glabrous.
C. sumatranum is found scattered in primary and secondary lowland and hill forest, up to 500 m altitude. The density of the sapwood is 370-650 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content.
Selected sources
9, 162, 342, 366, 474, 705.
Authors
- M.S.M. Sosef (selection of species)
