Introduction |
Payena lucida (Wallich ex G. Don) A.DC.
- Protologue: Prodr. 8: 197 (1844).
Synonyms
- Payena glutinosa Pierre (1885),
- Payena dasyphylla (Miq.) Pierre var. glabrata King & Gamble (1905),
- Madhuca lucida (Wallich ex G. Don) Baehni (1965).
Vernacular names
- Indonesia: kalimangong (Sumatra), baringin jiput, nyatu hitam (Kalimantan)
- Malaysia: nyatoh bunga, mayang bukit (Peninsular)
- Thailand: phikun-thuan (Surat Thani).
Distribution
Burma, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Bangka and Borneo.
Uses
The timber is used as nyatoh. The latex is used to adulterate gutta-percha. A decoction of the roots is used medicinally after childbirth.
Observations
- A medium-sized tree up to 30 m tall, but usually much less, with cylindrical bole up to 60 cm in diameter, buttressed.
- Leaves narrowly elliptical to narrowly obovate, pubescent to glabrous beneath.
- Flowers small, up to 0.8 cm long, whitish.
- Fruit ovoid to ellipsoid, 1.5-4 cm long, pubescent to subglabrous.
P. lucida is closely related to P. lowiana. It is a fairly common understorey tree, usually found in the lowland, but sometimes up to 1600 m altitude. The density of the timber is 670-830 kg/m3 at 15% moisture content.
Selected sources
36, 100, 102, 461, 581, 727, 779, 792.
