Canarium pseudodecumanum |
Canarium pseudodecumanum is a tree of tropical Asia in the incense tree family Burseraceae. The specific epithet pseudodecumanum is from the Latin meaning "false decumanum", referring to the species' resemblance to Canarium decumanum. [3]
Canarium pseudodecumanum grows as a tree up to 40 metres (130 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 120 cm (50 in). Its grey-white bark is smooth to scaly. The ellipsoid fruits measure up to 8 cm (3 in) long. [3]
Canarium pseudodecumanum grows naturally in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. [3] Its habitat is lowland forests on swamp land from sea-level to 280 m (900 ft) altitude. [1] [3]
The tree's resin is used in boat construction. The fruit is considered edible. The seeds produce an edible oil. [3]
