It is found in dense deciduous or evergreen forests, from sea level to approximately 700 m (2,300 ft) in Brunei, Cambodia, southern China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. In Chinese, it is called 闭花木 bi hua mu[6] and in Vietnamese Cách hoa (Sumatra).

Description

Cleistanthus sumatranus is an evergreen tree, growing up to 18 m (59 ft) tall.[6]

The leaves have 2–7 mm (0.079–0.276 in) petioles with elliptical leaf blades which are typically 30–100 mm (1.2–3.9 in) by 20–50 mm (0.79–1.97 in). Flowers are small, each with five sepals and five small petals (both male and female), with up to seven occurring in axillary fascicles, subtended by normal or smaller leaves, or on leafless spike-like axes. Flowering is typically from March–August; fruiting from April–October. The capsules are red and ovoid, approximately 10 by 10 mm (0.4 by 0.4 in), containing seeds which are usually single and up to 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter.[6]

gollark: > This book is intended as a text for a second or third level undergraduate course in introductory ethical calculus or morality science. Ethical Calculus on the Astral Manifold demonstrates foundational concepts of ZFC+DMR axiomatic moral theory in particularly novel ways. Join an autonomous car as it journeys across the utility isosurface, restricted in phase-space by the physical constraints of spacetime. Follow the thought processes of the man at the lever in the modified manifold trolley problem. Watch as a eigenmoses maximizer behaves in a simulated environment, following an instinct one might find very familiar. These are just a few of many case studies presented, analyzed in detail in a manner both interesting, easy to read, and highly informative. Freshman knowledge of real analytical techniques is recommended but not necessarily required.

gollark: I see.
gollark: What do you mean "morally"? Have you devised some sort of formally specified typed encoding for ethics?
