Pimelodendron Amboinicum
''Pimelodendron amboinicum'' is a tree species in the Euphorbiaceae family. It is found from the Solomon Islands in the southwest Pacific, west to Sulawesi in Indonesia. The timber is used locally, though larger-scale illegal logging is apparent. Description The species grows as a tree some 10–35 m tall, with a diameter at breast height of 7–70 cm and with its bole (bare trunk) 5–20 m high. The smooth bark is blackish brown to red brown. The tree has a wide canopy. The trunk and twigs of the species when cut quickly exude a milky sap which on exposure turns cream/yellowish. When the bark is peeled from the stem the underlying layer (subrhytidome) is dark red. The simple leaves are crowded towards the end of the twigs, about 6-16 × 4–6 cm in size, with two glands (flat or slightly raised) near the base on the lower side, on either side of the midrib near the margin. There are small and inconspicuous stipules. Flowers are some 2 to 3mm in diameter, femal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
