Introduction |
Payena lanceolata Ridley
- Protologue: Journ. Roy. As. Soc. Straits Br. 79: 93 (1918).
Synonyms
- Payena lancifolia H.J. Lam (1925),
- Isonandra lancifolia (H.J. Lam) Baehni (1965).
Vernacular names
- Indonesia: balam (Sumatra)
- Malaysia: nyatoh ekor, ekor, beliau (Peninsular)
- Thailand: kun, cha-kun, phikun-nok (Surat Thani)
- Vietnam: cata (Phan Rang).
Distribution
Southern Vietnam, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and western Sumatra.
Uses
The timber is used as nyatoh.
Observations
- A large tree up to 43 m tall, with columnar to fluted bole, up to 65 cm in diameter, and thin buttresses.
- Leaves lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, glabrous on both sides.
- Flowers small, up to 0.7 cm long, white or pale yellow.
- Fruit ovoid, 3-4.5 cm long, usually with a long apical beak.
A distinct variety occurs in Vietnam: var. annamensis (Lecomte) v. Bruggen (synonym: Payena annamensis Lecomte); it differs from var. lanceolata in having narrower sepals, a sometimes 7-lobed corolla, longer and more slender stamens, a sometimes 6-7-lobed ovary, and a thinner fruit-wall.
In Peninsular Malaysia P. lanceolata occurs in lowlands and hills up to 300 m altitude. The density of the timber is high for nyatoh, about 830 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content.
Selected sources
36, 102, 235, 581, 727, 779, 792.
