Meliosma pinnata subsp. ferruginea
Content
Description
Medium-sized to big tree, up to c. 42 m.
Leaves 2-6(-7)-jugate;
Sepals usually densely pubescent, rarely on the outside sparsely so to subglabrous.
Panicles erect, spreading, lax to rather dense;
Ovary partly or entirely but almost always distinctly and densely pubescent, very rarely nearly glabrous.
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: Jawa (Jawa present ‒ present); Lesser Sunda Is. present (Bali present), Flores present, N. & Central Sumatra present, Sumbawa present, Timor present
Malesia: N. & Central Sumatra, throughout Java, and the Lesser Sunda Islands (Bali, Sumbawa, Flores, Timor), locally common, especially in Java. .
Notes
subsp. ferruginea is usually well recognizable by its outside pubescent sepals and petals. However, in N. Sumatra and the Lesser Sunda Islands specimens occur in which these characters are imperfectly or not developed, and they may also lack the pubescence on the ovary and may have almost glabrous leaves. They are not easily identifiable and may be confused with M. lanceolata var. lanceolata f. nervosa or with the closely related M. pinnata subsp. macrophylla and subsp. ridleyi.
