Dimocarpus dentatus Meijer ex Leenh.

Trees to 15(-24) m high, dbh up to 40 cm, sometimes with buttresses. Twigs terete with 5 faint grooves, 6.5-8 mm in diam., persistently densely and shortly ferrugineous-tomentose, hairs tufted, older branches glabrous, brown, warty-lenticellate. Leaves 4-7-jugate, axial parts densely hairy; petiole 6-18 cm long, rounded, flattened mainly towards the base; petiolules 1-2 mm long, terete. Leaflets oblong(-obovate) to lanceolate, 5.5-24 by 3.2-9 cm, index 2-4, thin-coriaceous to stiff-chartaceous, above tomentose on midrib and — scattered — on nerves, glabrescent, beneath rather densely to sparsely tufted-hairy on midrib and nerves, between the nerves often with scattered tufts, pairs of, or solitary hairs, beneath with naked glands in the nerve axils and along the margin; base acute and equal-sided or slightly oblique and cordate in the lower leaflets; margin distantly serrate-dentate; apex acute to rounded, sometimes tapering acuminate; midrib flat above, nerves 0.8-1.5 cm apart, angle to midrib 50-70°, slightly curved to nearly straight, alternately ending in and between the marginal teeth, above sunken, veins scalariform, rather dense, above hardly visible, beneath prominent, veinlets finely reticulate, above mostly prominulous, beneath prominulous or sometimes hardly visible. Inflorescences 25-55 cm long, densely ferrugineous-tomentose, hairs tufted; branches few, erecto-patent, up to c. 20 cm long, sparsely branched again, bearing rather many sessile, few-flowered, glomerulous cymules; bracts narrowly triangular, 4 mm long, patent to recurved; pedicels 1.5 mm. Sepals 2.5-3 by 1.8-2 mm, inside sparsely hairy in the upper part. Petals 5, oblanceolate, 3.5-4.2 by 1 mm, outside sericeous except at base and sometimes in the upper half, along the margin and inside densely long-hairy except at base. Disc velutinous. Stamens: filaments 2.2-4 mm long, patently tufted-hairy mainly towards the apex; anthers 0.8 mm long. Fruits: lobe(s) subglobular, 16 by 15 mm, with rather large, hardly raised, flat warts, granular, glabrous.

Primary, sometimes secondary forests, in dry as well as in periodically inundated or marshy localities, on various but preferably rather rich soils: usually from sea level to 100 metres, but exceptionally to 750 metres.

The false aril or seed layer is sweet and edible.

Can be grown by seedlings.
