Horsfieldia sucosa subsp. sucosa

Primary tabs

Horsfieldia sucosa subsp. sucosa

Description

Fruits 2.5-3.5 by 2-2.5 cm with persistent 3-lobed perianth.

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia present); Sumatera (Sumatera present)
Malesia: Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia.

Notes

3 It seems that the distributional area excludes that of the related and resembling species H. pallidicaula. 2 Horsfieldia sucosa is vegetatively very similar to H. pallidicaula and H. sterilis, the latter two being markedly different in the male flowers; they have a different androecium, and the pedicels are not articulated. 1 Dry fruits are at most 3.5 cm long, but fresh fruits 5-7.5 cm long, with a thick pericarp.
