- Protologue: Journ. Arn. Arb. 61: 530 (1980).
Distribution
Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Bangka; perhaps also in Java and eastern Borneo.
Uses
The timber is probably used as bintangor; in Pahang (Peninsular Malaysia) a decoction of the roots is used medicinally after childbirth.
Observations
- A medium-sized tree up to 33 m tall with bole up to 55 cm in diameter, without buttresses; twigs obscurely 4-angled, terminal bud plump to conical, 2.5-6 mm long.
- Leaves elliptical to ovate, 3-10 cm long, cuneate at base, prominently acuminate at apex, with (7-)12-20(-28) veins per 5 mm.
- Inflorescences axillary, unbranched, 5-7-flowered; flowers (probably) with 4 tepals.
- Fruit spherical, 12-16 mm long, with thin outer layer with large air spaces, green, finely mottled with yellow, or bronzed.
C. dioscurii usually grows in mixed dipterocarp hill forest up to 650 m altitude.
Selected sources
