SUMMARY
Pimelodendron comprises five species. Four species were already known (P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, P. macrocarpum, P. zoanthogyne). One Sumatran species is to separate in the rest of Pimelodendron without naming it (Pimelodendron spec. nov.?). One name is excluded (P. dispersum = Actephila
excelsa var. javanica), while P. naumannianum is regarded as a synonym of P. amboinicum.
Key words: Euphorbiaceae, Pimelodendron, Malesia.
INTRODUCTION
Pimelodendron Hassk. is a small genus (five species) in the Euphorbiaceae. Its distribution ranges from Peninsular Thailand to the Solomon Islands and tropical East Australia
(Airy Shaw, 1977; Webster, 1994): Peninsular Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra,
Borneo, Sulawesi, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, New Guinea, Solomon Islands,
and NE Australia. There are three species distributed in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra,
and Borneo; while one species (P. amboinicum Hassk.) is distributed in Sulawesi,
Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and NE Australia.
Pimelodendron spec. nov.? is found in Sumatra.
Some species of this genus are economically important, they provide food, medicine,
or varnish for local people. The wood of P. macrocarpum J.J. Sm. is used in house construction (Heyne, 1927). In Sumatra, the fruit of P. griffithianum (Müll.Arg.) Benth. is
used for seasoning (Burkill, 1935). In eastern Malay Peninsula P. amboinicum furnishes
edible seeds, which taste like hazelnuts; its bark is used as a purgative; the juice of the
leaves, used in a mixture, cleans the mouths of children, and acts as a gentle purgative (adults can eat the leaves without purging); the latex serves as a varnish (Burkill,
1935). People in the Solomon Islands drink an infusion of the bark of P. amboinicum
as a remedy for fever (Perry & Judith, 1980).
Pimelodendron was established by Hasskarl (1855) based on a plant originally collected in the Moluccas and cultivated in the Bogor Botanical Garden (P. amboinicum);
the type could not be traced. The original spelling is Pimelodendron. However, in later
publications Hasskarl (1857, 1858) changed it to Pimeledendrum. The most commonly
accepted and used spelling was introduced by Müller Argoviensis (1866) as Pimeleodendron (in his view a section of the genus Carumbium Reinw.(= Homalanthus)).
According to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature 1994 (Article 60.1;
Greuter et al., 2000) the first spelling ‘Pimelodendron’ should be accepted as the correct

BLUMEA — Vol. 49, No. 2 & 3, 2004
spelling as already done by Airy Shaw (1971). Etymologically, the name Pimelodendron
is derived from the Greek words ‘pimelos’, which means ‘greasy/fat’, and ‘dendron’
which means ‘tree’, thus the name refers to a tree with fatty seeds.
Webster (1994) and Radcliffe-Smith (2001) classified Pimelodendron in subfamily
Euphorbioideae, tribe Stomatocalyceae, subtribe Stomatocalycinae because of the following characters: trees with abundant white latex; bracts (mainly) eglandular; sepals
connate; staminate calyx 2-lipped; stamens free, 10–30; pollen sexine finely reticulateperforate; ovary 2–10-locular; styles undivided, short; fruits indehiscent; seeds ecarunculate. The morphology of the staminate flowers (a 2-lipped calyx) of Pimelodendron
resembles that of Homalanthus A. Juss., but Pimelodendron is not closely related to
Homalanthus (Esser et al., 1997). Homalanthus is classified in the tribe Hippomaneae,
subtribe Carumbiinae (Webster, 1994; Radcliffe-Smith, 2001), the tribe treated after
the Stomatocalyceae.
Müller Argoviensis (1866) described the new genus Stomatocalyx with the single
species S. griffithianus based on various specimens from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Bentham (Bentham & Hooker, 1880) transferred this species to Pimeleodendron,
thereby making Stomatocalyx a synonym of Pimelodendron. Warburg (1894) described
P. papuanum from New Guinea and Borneo, and P. borneense from Borneo. Elmer
(1908) recognised a new species for the Philippines, P. dispersum. Pax & Hoffmann
(1912) excluded P. dispersum from Pimelodendron and considered it to be a Cleistanthus species. They classified the three remaining species in tribe Hippomaneae, subtribe
Homalanthinae. In 1916 Merrill described one new species from Borneo (P. acuminatum), followed in 1924 by Pax & Hoffmann with P. naumannianum from Timor (Lesser
Sunda Islands) and Smith (1924) with P. macrocarpum and P. papaveroides (both from
Sumatra) and P. zoanthogyne (Borneo). According to Smith (1924) P. papuanum is a
synonym of P. amboinicum.
Whitmore (1972) recognised two species for Peninsular Malaysia, namely P. griffith
ianum and P. macrocarpum. Airy Shaw (1975) identified three species for Borneo:
P. griffithianum, P. macrocarpum, and P. zoanthogyne. He considered all other West
Malesian names, P. acuminatum, P. borneense, and P. papaveroides, to be synonyms of
P. griffithianum. Airy Shaw (1975), like Smith, regarded P. papuanum as a synonym of
P. amboinicum. Airy Shaw (1981) accepted two species for Sumatra: P. griffithianum
and P. macrocarpum, and a single species for Sulawesi and the Moluccas: P. amboinicum (Airy Shaw, 1982).
This short history of Pimelodendron indicates that the species concept in Pimelodendron is still confusing. Moreover, up to now only island revisions were published for most
Malesian Euphorbiaceae and no general overview exists. The island revisions, mainly
by Airy Shaw, lack descriptions and often the keys are not sufficient for identification.
Therefore, a revision of the widespread Pimelodendron was urgently called for.
In the present study five species of Pimelodendron are recognized, of which four
have been described previously (P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, P. macrocarpum,
P. zoanthogyne) and one Sumatran species is separated from in the rest of Pimelodendron
without naming it (Pimelodendron spec. nov.?). One name is excluded, P. dispersum,
which is a synonym of Actephila excelsa (Dalzell) Müll.Arg. var. javanica (Miq.)
Pax & K. Hoffm. One new synonym is proposed by uniting P. naumannianum with
P. amboinicum.

CHARACTERS
Leaves
Most species have paired glands at the base of the leaf blade on the lower surface,
only P. macrocarpum is an exception.
The petiole length ranges from 1–12.5 cm and is variable within species, but differ
distinctly between species. The upper side of the petiole usually has transverse ridges
when dry (P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, and P. zoanthogyne); the ridges are absent
in P. macrocarpum and Pimelodendron spec. nov.?.
The leaf margin of P. griffithianum is serrulate with the tip apiculate (Fig. 1e) and
the teeth 1–2.1 cm apart. Pimelodendron macrocarpum has mostly serrulate with the
tip apiculate (Fig. 1e) or rarely serrate and the tip apiculate (Fig. 1b) leaf margins, with
the teeth 1–2.5 cm apart. Leaves of P. amboinicum are (serrulate to) serrate and the tip
apiculate (Fig. 1b); some collections from Sulawesi have deeply serrate margins with
the teeth 2–3 mm long and the tip apiculate (Fig. 1a), distance between teeth 2–4 cm.
The leaf margin of Pimelodendron spec. nov.? is serrate with the teeth curved inwards
and the tip apiculate (Fig. 1c, 1d), distance between teeth 0.7–1.5 cm long; while the
leaves of P. zoanthogyne are serrate and the tip apiculate (Fig. 1b) or rarely serrulate
with the tip apiculate and the teeth 1–3 cm apart.
The upper surface of the leaves of P. amboinicum is shining when fresh, but dull
when dried; in P. macrocarpum the leaves remain shining even when dry.

Inflorescences
The staminate inflorescences are usually racemes (panicles in P. macrocarpum),
which are subsessile or long peduncled, axillary and/or ramiflorous. The racemes are
usually fascicles of more than one per axil, even up to 7 in P. zoanthogyne. The staminate inflorescences can be more than 10 cm long (P. macrocarpum), but are usually
less than 7 cm long (P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, P. zoanthogyne). The pistillate
inflorescences are racemes, up to 6 cm long in P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, and
P. zoanthogyne; and up to 10 cm long in P. macrocarpum.
Bracts and bracteoles
Bracts to the inflorescences are only found in staminate flowers of P. macrocarpum
(one bract). The bracts of the staminate and pistillate flowers are normally triangular
with an entire margin. The staminate flowers of P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, and
P. zoanthogyne have one bract, but P. macrocarpum has three bracts (a central large
one and 2 smaller lateral called bracteoles). The tip of the bracts is entire, but serrate
in P. amboinicum. The bracts sometimes possess two glands at the base, one on each
side. The pistillate flowers of P. amboinicum have three bracts (a central large one and
2 smaller lateral bracteoles); those of P. griffithianum, P. macrocarpum, and P. zoanthogyne only have one bract.

Flowers
Staminate flowers — The pedicels of P. amboinicum and P. macrocarpum are up to
4 mm long; while those of P. griffithianum and P. zoanthogyne are up to 7.5 mm long.
The calyx is cup-shaped with two lobes, the lobes are only basally fused, the tip is usually entire but serrate in P. amboinicum. Pimelodendron griffithianum (Fig. 2b right),
P. macrocarpum (Fig. 2c right), and P. zoanthogyne (Fig. 2d right) have stamens in
two rows; while P. amboinicum has three rows (Fig. 2a right). The number of stamens
varies within species: P. amboinicum (7–29), P. griffithianum (6–19), P. macrocarpum (15–20), P. zoanthogyne (7–18). The stamens may remain enclosed in the calyx:
P. amboinicum (Fig. 2a left), P. griffithianum (Fig. 2b left), P. macrocarpum (Fig. 2c
left), or can protrude as in P. zoanthogyne (Fig. 2d left).
Pistillate flowers — The pedicel is usually up to 3 mm long in P. amboinicum and
P. zoanthogyne, but longer in P. griffithianum and P. macrocarpum (up to 12 mm
long). The calyx is cupuliform with two lobes with usually an entire tip, but serrate in
P. zoanthogyne. Pimelodendron griffithianum has scattered glands at the union of the
basal two lobes (Fig. 3d); P. amboinicum only has glands at the union of the basal
two lobes (Fig. 3a). The ovary comprises a varying number of locules per species: P.
amboinicum 3 or 4, P. griffithianum 4–10, P. macrocarpum 15–21, and P. zoantho-

gyne 10–15. Two species have sessile stigmas: the stigma lobes in P. amboinicum are
pulvinate and flat (Fig. 3a, b), and in P. macrocarpum flat and somewhat indistinct
(Fig. 3c). The short styles in P. griffithianum (Fig. 3d) are free and straight, whereas
those in P. zoanthogyne (Fig. 3e) are connate and recurved.
Fruits
Pimelodendron griffithianum, P. macrocarpum, and P. zoanthogyne have orbicular
drupes, they are pyriform in P. amboinicum, and conical in Pimelodendron spec. nov.?.
The diameter of the fruits is less than 3 cm in P. amboinicum, P. griffithianum, and
Pimelodendron spec. nov.? and more than 5 cm in P. zoanthogyne and P. macrocarpum. The fruits are smooth, with the remnants of the stigmas still present (P. griffithianum, P. zoanthogyne, and Pimelodendron spec. nov.?) or absent (P. amboinicum and
P. macrocarpum).
Seeds
Pimelodendron amboinicum has one seed per fruit. Pimelodendron griffithianum and
P. zoanthogyne have 2–6 seeds per fruit, P. macrocarpum may have up to 11 seeds per
fruit. The seed of Pimelodendron spec. nov.? is unknown. The shape of the seeds varies
from globose (P. amboinicum) to reniform (P. griffithianum and P. macrocarpum) to
ovate (P. zoanthogyne).

Notes — 1. The specimen described by Hasskarl was (probably) lost or he might
have used living material to describe the plant and there is no herbarium material, so
a neotype has been selected here.
2. The differentiating character for P. papuanum Warb. is the short pedicel of the
staminate flower, less than 1 mm long (as opposed to 0.2–4 mm in typical P. amboinicum). Examination of several characters of many collections, e.g., staminate inflorescences, pedicel, staminate flower, calyx lobes, number of stamens, petiole length, length
of leaf, leaf apex, margins, etc. all show a complete overlap between P. amboinicum
and P. papuanum, leaving only the pedicel length as sole criterion to separate both
species. This character is rather unreliable due to the variation of the pedicel length in
the genus. Therefore, P. papuanum is here regarded as a synonym of P. amboinicum.
Perhaps more pistillate material may reveal more differences.
3. Pimelodendron naumannianum (Timor), is only known from literature, the type is
lost. Based on the description it is considered as a (new) synonym of P. amboinicum.
4. Several collections of P. amboinicum from Sulawesi in three different places:
Malili–South Sulawesi (Cel/V171, Cel/II461), SE Sulawesi (Prawiroatmodjo & Soewoko 2005), unknown places in Sulawesi (Elbert 3308, Kjellberg 1149) have leaves
with deeply serrate margins (teeth 2–3 mm long and the tip apiculate), the distance
between the teeth is 2–4 cm, as opposed to 1.4–3 cm in all other collections. However,
as this is the only difference, no taxonomic separation seems justified.

Habitat & Ecology — Wet forest, secondary forest, pole forest, semi-swamps, along
logging roads or on hill slopes; soil dry to wet, sand or clay. Altitude: sea level to 900 m.
Flowering: January to April, July to December; fruiting: April to October, December.
Vernacular names — Sumatra: djeloetoeng pipih, lantjat imbo (Batak, Dairi), lempanai (Palembang), majang ukit (Batak, Toba), njatoh (Maleisch), panai-panai (Maleisch),

tampang (Bekoempai, Sijang), perah ikan (Malay), kelampai sitak (Iban).
Notes — 1. There is a complete overlap in measurements between P. borneense and
P. griffithianum. However, this is mainly based on staminate specimens, more pistillate
specimens are required for a well founded opinion about the synonymy of P. borneense.
For the time being I agree with Airy Shaw (1975) that P. borneense is a synonym of
P. griffithianum.
2. There are no real differences between P. acuminatum and P. griffithianum. Sometimes P. acuminatum has staminate bracts with glands, but this difference does not merit
a special taxonomic status.

417
3. Based on different measurements of staminate and pistillate specimens, and the
presence of basal glands on the persistent sepals of the fruits no difference between
P. papaveroides and P. griffithianum could be found.
4. Some collections from Borneo (Endert 4913, KEP FRI 41342, Kostermans 21385,
Van Niel 4051) and from Sumatra (Hotta & Okada 1608) have 7–9.5 mm long staminate
flowers and pedicels of 5.5–7.5 mm long. These characters are very different from all
other specimens, but there is still an overlap. Therefore, these specimens are not given
a new status.

BLUMEA — Vol. 49, No. 2 & 3, 2004
Habitat & Ecology — Primary lowland dipterocarp forest, depleted primary forest,
disturbed peat swamp forest, on level alluvial flats to small ridges; soil: clay loam soil,
deep sandy clay with stones. Altitude: 30–200 m. Flowering: April to June, August to
October; fruiting: July, December.
Vernacular names — Borneo: kelampai sitak (Iban).
Uses — Fruit edible, flesh with sourish odour and with an insipid or sweetish taste.
Note — This species closely resembles P. griffithianum especially in the staminate
flowers. Typical are the pistillate flowers with 10–15 connate and recurved stigmas
and the ovoid seeds. Also typical are the long petioles, but here there is overlap with
other species.
5. Pimelodendron spec. nov.? — Fig. 1c, 1d, 4; Map 3
Habit unknown. Bark pale brownish; branchlets and twigs terete, pale brownish, smooth,
not fissured. Leaves: petiole 4.5–6 cm long, apically without transverse ridges at the
adaxial side, pale brownish; blade elliptic, 9.5–12 by 3.5–5 cm, length/width ratio
2.4–2.7, coriaceous; base attenuate, with a pair of glands abaxially; the leaf apex cuspidate; margin serrate, the teeth 0.5–1 mm long, curved inward and the tip apiculate,
distance between teeth 0.7–1.5 cm; upper surface dull when dry; venation raised on
lower surface, not raised above. Inflorescences and flowers unknown. Infructescences
racemose, 3–4 cm long. Bracts and bracteoles not seen. Fruits conical, c. 3 by 2.1–2.5
cm diam., 4-locular, glabrous; pedicel 1–1.2 cm long, glabrous; remnants of stigmas
present. Seeds not seen.
Distribution — East coast of Sumatra.
Notes — 1. The cited collection consists only of leaf and infructescences in one
collection. This material resembles P. griffithianum (4–10 locules) very closely, but it
is different in its conical fruits and serrate leaf margins. No information is given about
the plant or about particular ecological circumstances. The inadequate material and
the complete absence of additional information make it impossible to say whether the
collection belongs to P. griffithianum or represent a new taxon. Therefore it seems wise
to separate it from the rest of Pimelodendron without naming it, until more material
becomes available.
2. Based on Yates 1087 (BO), east coast of Sumatra.
