Xanthophyllum rufum is a plant in the family Polygalaceae. The specific epithet rufum is from the Latin meaning "reddish", referring to the colour of the twig hairs.[2]

Description

Xanthophyllum rufum grows as a shrub (rarely) or tree up to 40 metres (130 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 50 centimetres (20 in). The smooth bark is greenish grey or brown. The flowers are white, drying yellowish. The yellowish-green fruits are round and measure up to 2 cm (1 in) in diameter.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Xanthophyllum rufum grows naturally in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Its habitat is lowland mixed dipterocarp or riverine forests from sea-level to 300 metres (1,000 ft) altitude.[2]

gollark: The original intended use *was* just mice and keyboards and whatnot.

gollark: 12V might have been good. I'm not sure why they didn't use it.

gollark: USB-C with whatever power delivery stuff can do 12V, at least.

gollark: Running USB devices off alkaline batteries is kind of niche and was especially niche when the standard was made.
