Description
Melicope triphylla grows up as a shrub or tree up to 15 metres (50 ft) tall. The flowers are unisexual. The ellipsoid to roundish fruits measure up to 0.5 cm (0.2 in) long.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Melicope triphylla grows naturally in the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan south to Borneo and east to New Guinea.[2][3] In Malaysian Borneo its habitat is forests from sea-level to 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) altitude.[2]
gollark: By induction, repeatedly adding some small change δ only changes the values by insignificant amounts, so it's 0 for all inputs.
gollark: You see, sin 0 = tan 0 = 0, and for any small change δ from 0 the value of sin δ and tan δ are both less than some ε which is really small, so we can ignore it.
gollark: cos x = 1, sin x = tan x = 0, actually.
gollark: Instead of calling arcsin inelegantly, it should instead just iterate through the infinite set of the function's outputs.
gollark: Why would I do that?
