Notes

Much the most widespread species of the genus, but other species are very commonly identified under this name causing confusion as to its exact character and retarding the recognition of the other species.
In spite of the great geographic range, only slight variation exists within the species. The most distinct element is in the substantially isolated occurrence in Fiji where primary foliage bud scales can reach 5 mm and where extra vascular resin canals are often found in the leaves (P. decipiens). In Borneo the midrib on the upper surface of the leaf is weak while from India to southeastern Asia the leaves are more commonly lanceolate and the foliage buds are usually no more than 2 mm long with barely spreading primary scales.
