The species is locally known as malacayan a name applied also to other 

 unrelated species, and is allied to Columbia longipetiolata Merr. of Luzon, 

 from which it differs in its entire or nearly entire leaves. The fruit is red 

 when fresh, the bark very tough and stringy as in other species of the 

 genus, and the wood has a slightly pungent odor.

This species is widely distributed, extending from Japan and China to 

 the mountains of India, Ceylon, and Sumatra. The Philippine material, 

 while variable, agrees rather closely in all essential characters with speci- 

 mens from Japan, Ceylon, and China. The species described by Mr. Elmer 

 as Adinandra coriacea is a typical Ternstroemia in all respects.
