Ranges throughout the central region of the Philippine 
archipelago. Just recently Eugenio Fenix collected a form of 
it on the Batanes islands with pubescent stipules. Its wood 
is highly prized and is used to make bancas and the gum 
of it is sometimes used for calking. Fruits not edible. The 
natives call this the real ''Tagop". The northern Visayan 
and the natives of the Batanes islands apparently eat 
the fruits and call it ''"Tipolo" or "'Tipugo." Named in 
honor of Dr. Trecul who has done considerable work on 
this group.
