152 PHILIPPINE RESINS, GUMS, AND OILS 
The fibers surrounding the seeds are soft, elastic, and immune p 
to moths, and therefore very suitable for stuffing pillows, mat- 
tresses, etc., for which purposes they are extensively employed. 
This species is commonly cultivated, particularly along the 
highways and in towns, in all parts of the Philippines. 
Family STERCULIACEAE 
Genus STERCULIA 
STERCULIA FOETIDA L. (Figs. 52, 53). KALUMPANG. 
Local names: Bangdr (Abra); bangdt, bubir (Ilocos Sur); bobdg 
(Iloilo, Palawan) ; bungoég (Cagayan) ; kalumpdng (Nueva Ecija, Tayabas, 
Pampanga, Rizal, Bataan, Manila, Laguna, Camarines, Iloilo, Mindoro, 
Palawan, Cotabato, Apo Island) ; kurumpdng (Davao). 
KALUMPANG OIL 
The fruits of this species and of several others of the genus 
contain a number of peanut-like, oily kernels. They are more 
or less laxative when eaten raw. An oil extracted from them 
is used locally for illuminating purposes. In some parts of the 
Islands the oil mixed with white earth is utilized as a paint. 
The oil is a bland, sweet, yellow oil, having a rather high melting 
point. Brill and Agcaoili * analyzed the dry, shelled seeds and 
determined the chemical constants of the oil obtained from them. 
The results are given in Tables 25 and 26. These tables also 
include the results obtained by Bolton and Jesson.}
