Description

Dacryodes rubiginosa grows up to 20 metres (70 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 20 centimetres (8 in). The flowers are tomentose. The ellipsoid fruits measure up to 2.5 cm (1 in) long.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Dacryodes rubiginosa grows naturally in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Its habitat is lowland forest from sea-level to 200 metres (700 ft) altitude.[2]

gollark: Peak Haskell.
gollark: I ctrl+Fed the code for it and it does not appear to be used outside of its own definition.
gollark: How does that differ from "not actually used at all"?
gollark: ```haskellfoldM' :: (Monad m) => (a -> b -> m a) -> a -> [b] -> m afoldM' _ z [] = return zfoldM' f z (x:xs) = do z' <- f z x z' `seq` foldM' f z' xs```
gollark: I just noticed that the FractalArt code contains a complex-looking monady function which is not actually used at all anywhere.
