Remarks: Info from https://www.mybis.gov.my/art/303 Dryobalanops aromatica is found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. The species epithet, aromatica is derived from the Latin word, ˉaromaticusˇ meaning spice-like, referring to the aroma of the dammar or resin. Both the cut wood and crushed fresh leaves produce the aromatic scent (Ashton et al., 1982). Naturally, Kapur grows in clusters on well-drained soil on hillsides, and exhibits the ˉˉcrown shynessˇˇ phenomenon where the tree crowns do not overlap or come into contact with one another (Chew, 2014). In its natural habitat, Kapur can grow into a large tree of up to 60 m height with buttresses. The diameter of the bole can reach 3.4 m and the bark surface is longitudinally fissured. Kapur tends to flower once every 2 to 7 years depending on the presence of a prolonged dry period. Its flowers are white to cream in colour with glabrous and oblong petals. Each flower has 30 stamens that are shorter than the style. The fruit is a 5-winged nut with wings up to 6 cm long. The seeds and cotyledon-stage seedlings are often consumed by vertebrates such as rodents and wild pigs (Kachi et al., 1995). Kapur is an important source of timber in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. Its medium hardwood is highly valued for construction due to its attractive pale brown colour and is used locally for construction of walls and floors of houses. A clear yellow and aromatic liquid, known as camphor oil, is produced from the trunk of young trees, and through the process of crystallization forms true camphor. Camphor is used for its scent in religious ceremonies, in perfumery and aromatherapy, as an ingredient in cooking (mainly in India), and for medicinal purposes. A powder of the fruit kernel is used in local remedies, especially for stomach ache and for staunching blood flow (Soerianegara & Lemmens, 1994). | |
